Richard Job traces his roots to his family farm in Stearns County, Minnesota. This family history captures the story of his great-grandfather, who immigrated from Germany and then served in the US Civil war before settling in Central Minnesota. The Job Farm gave sanctuary to eleven children, cousins, grandparents, neighbors, animals, orchards, airplanes, farm machinery, and even an occasional bum. Richard’s story is a testament to his family’s ingenuity, the strength they drew from their Catholic faith, and the daily work required to care for themselves, their land, and their community.
