Farm History

Coming to America
The Baur Family immigrated from Austria to the United States in 1889 and established their first homestead on Slab Creek, just outside of what is present day Neskowin, OR. They had five girls.
Grandparents
Between 1902 and 1920 three of the Baur girls met and married three of the Trent boys from Neskowin. James Trent and Emma Baur moved to Cloverdale and milked cows on different farms. They eventually settled in 1928 and established Trent Farm in its current location. James and Emma had three children.

Parents
In 1958 Jim Trent married Marlene McKinley of Willamina, OR. They eventually took over the farm and raised five children.
