Houses, highways, traffic and an Ohio Century Farm
By Matt ReeSe
With the ever increasing sprawl of
houses, industry and concrete creeping
up from Columbus, it may be hard to
believe there are many rural areas left in
Delaware County these days. But there
are still open crop fields, charming pas-
tures and old weathered barns that serve
as a symbol of the county’s rich agricul-
tural heritage. And there are still farms
that are more than symbolic.
Edward L. Rodenfels purchased 31
acres of rich Delaware County farmland in
1904 to start what is now an Ohio Century
Farm. He could not have foreseen the
changes that have occurred around his
land in one of the top counties for lost
farmland in the nation.
“Grandpa always said that he bought
this farm far enough out from town that
we wouldn’t have to worry about houses,
highways and traffic,” said Amy Dennis,
Edward’s granddaughter who has lived on
the family farm for nearly all of her life.
“And now we have a new shopping center
just down the road. You hate to see prime
farmland go for something like that. It is
convenient, but we really have mixed emo-
tions about that.”

Amy grew up in the house in the background that her
father and grandfather built. Now Amy and Carlos Dennis
live in a home just down the road that they built in the late
1980s. Their son Mark currently resides here.
