Before becoming Side Step Farms, the 80-acre parcel was more commonly known as the original Hogenson Farm, later depicted in a short memoir titled ‘Capturing Dad: The Farm on Hogenson Road’. Purchased by the Hogensons in the early 1900s, the family led a diversified operation of chickens, pigs, dairy cattle, field crops, and hay production. Some of these are things the current owners hope to restore in the near future. To this day, the farmstead is located toward the end of South Hogenson Road on the dividing line of Scottville and Pentwater, Michigan.
