The Palmer and Eirleen Foss Family Farm (aka Jim River Ranch), dates back to when Jarle Foss immigrated to this area from Norway in 1910 at 16 years of age. After serving in WWI, he returned to America, his new adopted country and started farming again in 1919. Working through the dirty thirties, the Jarle & Inga Foss family continued to purchase more land over several years as Jarle was quoted saying the time to buy land is when no one else wants it. Their son Palmer Foss, a WWII Veteran, took over the family farm and called this home for 86 years. Palmer & wife Eirleen raised Karen & Jerry, their two children here and continued to put this unit together as it was owned by a few different families. This strong offering in an astounding location overlooking the James River, could be yours after having been part of the Foss Family legacy for so many decades.
