Welcome to our farm

  In 1896  this land was purchased by William Andrew Ramey. William purchased a land lot of 500 acres for 2.50 per acre. This land was originally part of the Cherokee Indian’s land. At one time there was a Cherokee Indian Village by the Stekoa Creek, which is the creek bordering the farm. 

The name, Stekoa ,is of Cherokee origin. William Ramey's daugther in law, Harriet, was a full blooded Cherokee Indian. Her family, with the neighbors, had several hundred head of sheep in the valley. Harriet would ring the dinner bell at the old farmhouse and the workers would come the house to eat dinner every day.
