The facility, a home for transients and indigents, was replaced by a new facility in 1857. This burned to the ground in 1875. (1)

	The county board of supervisors later purchased 200 acres of land near the Julien Depot for the present farm; the new care facility was built for $10,500. While the building provided shelter for the poor, the farm was their source for produce, meat and work.

The county board of supervisors later purchased 200 acres of land near the Julien Depot for the present farm; the new care facility was built for $10,500. While the building provided shelter for the poor, the farm was their source for produce, meat and work. That was the way it was operated when in the early 1950s when Paul Gross and his wife, Lois, took over the operation.

	Gross reported that the residents raised all their own vegetables and canned 3,000 gallons of beans, corn, tomatoes, rhubarb, and sauerkraut. They raised their own chickens and had laying hens for the eggs. At one point, the residents raised 700-800 head of hogs. The farm also had a herd of milk cows, but the supervisors later sold the herd. “Poor farms” evolved into “care facilities” and the clients they served were different. By the time the county built the new care facility, the book work had increased and the farming operation had decreased.
