  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, for 100 years, members of the Fleming 
family have farmed Bucks County's rich soil, turning land into 
bountiful acres of produce for local consumption and wholesale markets. 
Today, the descendants of T. Herman Fleming carry on the tradition at 
Shady Brook Farm in Lower Makefield Township, Bucks County. In 1945, 
the Fleming patriarch's eldest son, Ed, took over the first farm in 
Andalusia and, in 1960, purchased 90 acres in rural Lower Makefield. 
The growing tradition continued with Ed's sons, Ed Jr. and Dave, 
followed by Dave's children, Dave Jr., Paul and Amy, and Wendy, the 
daughter of Ed Jr., at the helm. Within the circle of highways, homes 
and office buildings, Shady Brook Farm is a snapshot of both the 
historic and future farm, a destination for visitors who enjoy the 
Garden Center, country fresh market and seasonal entertainment. And so 
we acknowledge the remarkable heritage of the Fleming family on the 
farm's 100th birthday, with best wishes for continued success.
