Aerial view of Crawford Dairy Farm, Crawford Dairy Road, Chapel Hill NC. At time of photo, brick home to right belonged to Howard and Ann Crawford.

My parents owned this dairy farm. It is still an active dairy and is owned by 4th generation Crawford dairy farmers.

Clegg we love to see generational farms especially when they are still active today. How long has this farm been in your family? Do you know the current address for this photo? If so, I would be happy to update the location on the map!

This was my grandfather's farm/homeplace in the early 1900s. In 1952 my father (J.C. Crawford) and older brother (Howard Crawford) decided to go into the dairy business. The farm has grown in acreage over the years. My brother (Howard) inherited it when my father died. Howard's son (Jerry) inherited it when he died. Jerry and one of his sons and two daughters continue to farm and run the dairy. The current address of the farm is 4085 Crawford Dairy Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27516
