The Clancy family's farm on Port Crescent Road in Port Austin, Michigan, has been in the family for four generations, tracing back to the late 1800s.

It was Garrett's Great-Great-Great Grandpa who originally established the farm, laying the foundation for what would become a lasting legacy. The farm was set up during a period when many Irish immigrant families, including the Clancys, settled in the Port Austin area. These families took advantage of the fertile lands in the region, transitioning from lumbering to farming after the decline of the timber industry in the late 19th century.

Over time, the farm has remained a central part of the Clancy family's history, passing down through generations and symbolizing their commitment to the land and community. Today, the farm continues to be a source of livelihood and a testament to the family’s enduring legacy in Port Crescent.

Garrett’s relatives still reside on the farm, and it is a gathering place for the Clancy family during the summer holidays. The tradition of coming together on the farm for family reunions and celebrations keeps the connection to the land and their shared history strong, creating new memories while honoring the past. The farm is not just a home, but a living symbol of the Clancy family's roots, resilience, and commitment to their heritage.
