Chapter 9 - The Future
Although much has
changed in our long 100 year history, one thing has remained
constant. The farm continues to be driven by the family legacy of
vision, hard work and determination begun so many years ago by M.L.
Shaw, Sr.
Nancy is still with us and continues to contribute on a regular
basis. Her collaboration with sister Susan on flower garden
arrangements keeps us looking great during the growing season.
Another sister, Ruth is always involved with ideas for retail
improvements
Winthrop Shaw, living in California, provided most of the early
history of Shaw
Farm for this story
The Biedron family is as much a part of the farm, past and future as
we are. Walter Sr. still comes to the farm every day to check on us.
Wally Jr. has full responsibility for the herd and none of us would
want to do this without him. Several other members of their family
have also made significant contributions to the farm.
Mark Shaw who now represents the fifth generation of Shaws on the
farm is making his presence felt, and has made the commitment to
keep the old girl going.
Robert Pratt, husband of Sarah Shaw is now with us and is
responsible for ice cream manufacture as well as taking part in milk
plant duties. Sarah Pratt and Faith Shaw keep the books straight.
Lyndie, along with her husband own and operate ML Shaw’s Country
Kitchen
a business started by Warren Jr. and Ruth.
And Laurie Shaw, a retail professional, has assisted with the
planning for the 100th celebration
Many others play vital roles in the success of Shaw Farm. Jim
Sheridan, current milk plant manager has been with us since the age
of 15 and is one of the best in the business.
The year 2008 will bring more change.
Plans include the building of a new milk and ice cream facility
along with a new store.
Stay tuned.
