Visiting the ‘Little House on the Prairie’ Homestead in South Dakota - Eater
"As you approach Lennox, South Dakota, about two hours away from the De Smet homestead, vast cornfields welcome you to town. Sandwiched in between the massive fields of grain, much of which is destined to become fuel instead of food, is Good Earth Farm, a micro-farm and animal sanctuary operated by Nancy and Jeff Kirstein. The Kirsteins’ farm occupies a quarter section of an original homestead that was established sometime in the late 1880s — just a decade after the Ingalls arrived in De Smet — and stayed in that family until they bought the land in 2011. It’s easy to see why they landed there; the property is beautiful, a sprawling landscape covered in lush grass “blowing in waves of light and shadow,” as Wilder would have described it." - Amy McCarthy
