- Born in 1892, Sarah Van Hoosen Jones went on to become a world-renowned dairy farmer and bull breeder. In 1916 she earned a Master's Degree in Animal Husbandry, followed in 1921 by a Doctorate in Animal Genetics from the University of Wisconsin.Under her direction, the Van Hoosen Farm supplied the majority of milk consumed in Detroit in the 1930's and 1940's and was the first farm in southeastern Michigan to produce certified milk. Sarah's accomplishments in farming earned her national recognition in 1932 when she was named a Master Farmer, one of two women in the United States to hold this title. She was the first woman in the United States to be named a Premier Breeder of Holstein cattle, which she accomplished for nine years, seven in succession. Dr. Sarah Van Hoosen Jones died in 1972 leaving her estate to Michigan State University. Her family home, dairy barn, and 16 acres of grounds are now the Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm.
