Laree is a distant cousin of baseball Hall of Famer Bob Feller. They each have their own land, but they all work together when it comes to planting and harvesting, says Jean. Marc raises cattle and recently sold all of his hogs. They do enjoy getting meat from him. It s better if it s home-raised, she adds.
Pork is often an entree on their dinner table.
Feller says it is probably because she gets so many good recipes from people at work. On Christmas Eve, they always have chili and oyster stew for a meal because it s easy to make and gives them time to spend with the family. An interesting history surrounds their Central Iowa farm, which is next to the Raccoon River. In the early 1930s, Bonnie and Clyde and the Barrow Gang stopped overnight at the Feller farm. The visit ended with three of the five gang members being captured.
