## History

### Early History

The Kent Farm is located on 321 Maple Street in Smallville, Kansas 66605. It is the oldest farm in Rice County. It is The home phone number is 555-0145.

This parcel of land was settled by Nathaniel Kent, son of Silas and Abigail Kent, for his family back in 1871. Nathaniel and his wife, Mary Glenowen, created an original two-room farmhouse out of logs from walnut trees Nathaniel cleared on the land. The living area consisted of a large room with a fireplace/stove for heating and cooking and a table with benches where family members ate their meals. A small room housed the sleeping quarters. Nathaniel served as one of Smallville's first sheriffs.

With the fertile land's success and the family's expanding size came a bigger house built in 1903, a distance away from the original homestead and closer to the new dirt road that led to town. Constructed out of wooden boards, the new home contained a large kitchen with a dining area, a living area, and two bedrooms—one for the parents and the other for all children. Sam Kent added an indoor commode and two more rooms in 1938; in 1957, he built a second story.

In addition, the Kent Farm also has a concrete and steel grain silo and a steel windmill.

In the late twentieth century, it became the home of Jonathan and Martha Kent. It was here that a Kryptonian space pod that was the custodian of an infant child crash landed. The couple took the baby in and named him Clark.

Years after raising Clark, the Kent family farm has been home to many of Superman's friends and allies, including Superboy (Conner Kent), Mon-El, Supergirl (Kara Zor-El), Christopher Kent, Lois Lane, Lana Lang, and Krypto. A few times, Jonathan and Martha have allowed the Kent Farm to be used as a meeting place for Clark's super-hero friends, mainly due to the obscurity of the Kent Farm.

### Death of Jonathan Kent

On December 15, 2006, Pa Kent suffered a fatal heart attack during Brainiac's attack on Earth's sun. His funeral was attended by all his family and friends from Smallville.

After Jonathan's death, its sole occupant is Martha Kent, though her son Clark, her daughter-in-law Lois, her niece Kara, her grandsons Conner and Jon Kent, and even Krypto often visit and occasionally spend the night.

## Produce

Over the years, the Kent farm has grown alfalfa, corn, wheat, oats, soybeans, milo, grain sorghum, potatoes, and sugar beets. At one time, the Kent farm was known as the major cattle feeder in the area. The family has also raised dairy cows, sheep, goats, pigs, workhorses, and chickens.

Martha Kent helped her husband farm their land and raise their animals during her married life. She particularly enjoys taking care of the chickens. Martha began growing her organic produce several years ago by researching organic gardening and recognizing her need to grow produce without pesticides. She plants her plot near the house using only organic seeds and following the organic produce guidelines. Over the years, her interest in organic gardening grew into a thriving business. She produces tomatoes, squash, berries, herbs, wheat, and flowers. She also has a small apple orchard. Mrs. Kent sells her produce at the Farmers' Market. She has also transformed the chicken coop and removed all cages. The chickens run freely in the buildings when they are not outside, clucking in the yard.
