melvin and prue scheidt's daughter-in-law, susan scheidt, singlehandedly developed what is now the paternal gift farm neighborhood. she sought to preserve the original farming nature of the property by putting 75% of the land into farmland preservation. that land is used to operate a horse boarding facility featuring seven barns, which funds upkeep of the community property. a series of crimes involving the cutting of horse tails followed on the farm shortly afterward. the original farm is now subdivided and reduced to 3.748 acres.
