Mr. Evans loves farming!!! Almost everything you can think of grows at this100 acre New Jersey farm: strawberries, wheat, hay, vegetables, tomatoes, and peppers.

Before Mr. Evans worked at the farm, it was a dairy farm, but Mr. Evans likes everything to be as easy as possible and a dairy farm was too much work.

One interesting fact is that the farm was working during the Revolutionary War. His neighbors have claimed to have found cannon balls.

The oldest part of the farm was the barn. A man named J.K. Potts carved his name and the date July 4th 1855 on the front.

Tom Evans is the last person in his family to work at the farm. He receives a lot of help from the Rutgers Science Institute which is very close to his farm. During the winter when there is nothing to do, Mr. Evans goes to college. When Mr. Evans was young, he lived in the city. He also served in World War II.

The best time of the year is fall, when everything is harvested. Even on the rare occasion when there is a drought or flood there has never been a year when nothing grew.

Mr. Evans uses some of the most interesting machinery including tractors, compounds, hay lifters, baylers, and conveyor belts.

Everything that Mr. Evans grows he sells to other people or keeps for himself. Through experience is how Mr. Evans learned to manage his farm. He says that "if you don’t know when to do what you need to do, you’re in trouble."

As much as this New Jersey farmer loves farming he would never recommend farming to anybody. Tom Evans loves farming so much he hates when there is a flood or drought because there is nothing to farm and his hard work goes to waste.

Mr. Evans has received offers to sell his farm, but he won’t because it is his home.

Tom Evans doesn’t have any plans to add on to his farm or ever stop farming. In fact, Mr. Evans wants to farm for the rest of his life and wants to be buried with the Indians under one of his trees.
