Just south of Laurel, Del., you can see the Dickerson produce stand in the red barn on the roadside.

John Paul Dickerson said he and his brother are fifth generation farmers, and his son and nephew are sixth generation farmers.

They have grown grains, vegetables, poultry and many pumpkins over the years. The real product of the family farm is the family itself.

This family’s story is America’s story – from forest to farmland, from mules to machines.
