Our farmstead was founded in the late 1800’s by Johann and Johanna Bartling who traveled from Germany and settled down in small town Unadilla, NE. They had 3 daughters and a son. During the childbirth of their 5th child, Johanna and the baby both passed away. With Johanna’s passing, this left Johann to raise all 4 children with some help from neighbors and cousins. Herman, their only son, eventually took over the farm.
