At first the men of the family were hired as farm laborers as they had been in Holland for many generations. They worked and lived first near LeMars, Iowa, then Orange City.

Jan chose to grow vegetable crops for the extended Langhout family which also included Jan's brother Hulke [Holke], who had brought his large, growing family from Friesland.
