By CARL DAVIS SPECIAL TO THE NEWARK POST S the Extension ag Aagent for New Castle County, I visit lots of farms, but one in my terri tory is unique-the Mitchell family's Woodside Farm on North Star Road in Hockessin. Surrounded by encroach- ing suburban development for more than 20 years, the Mitchell's have managed to hang on to their land and their devotion to farming. Hard work, adapt ability and innovative thinking have kept their 75- acre farm in the family and working for more than 200 years. Woodside Farm's most recent endeavor to keep the farm profitable has been the highly success ful made-on-the-premises ice cream operation. Milked twice daily, the fawn-colored Jersey cows provide the rich product that is turned into farm-fresh ice cream for which thousands of people eagerly line up for all summer long. Educating heighbors and the wider community about the importance'of farming beyond ice cream, of course, is a continu6us challenge for the Mitchells, but one which they gladly take on. In fact as hosts of the 6th "Annual Day on - ~h'e Farm" event, they will be informing the public on a large scale. Visitors to "Day on "the Farm" will get a behind the-scenes look at Delaware agriculture on Saturday, June 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Woodside Farm.
