Wayne Davis broke both of his wrists in a grisly snowmobiling accident in 1980. What happened next changed his life.

At the time of his accident, Davis was a professional snowmobile, go-kart and motorcycle racer.

He bought 5 acres from his father Gordon (who was also born on the farm), who’d previously inherited a portion of the 180-acre space from Otto. Read more about Roger Schmidt Donates Land in Plymouth
