WORTHINGTON — Workers were cutting down and hauling away trees from the former Vogt Farm on the west shore of Lake Okabena Tuesday afternoon.
The 16-plus acre farm was purchased by Patricia “Patty” Reisdorfer of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The closing was finalized in early May.

According to the Minnesota Department of Revenue, Reisdorfer purchased the property from the Walter Vogt Charitable Trust for $654,163. That equates to $40,058.98 per acre for the 16.33-acre parcel. Her children, Patrick Klotzbach and Leah Klotzbach are also listed as buyers, though Patricia said she purchased the land.
