Hello Folks! We’re back with lots of updates.
Now we are three with little Ollie! (Nate is still silly as ever) |
I cannot believe it has been five years since my last post! A LOT has changed in those 5 years:
- We bought our own 80 acre farm across from the old family farm.
- The family farm was sold.
- Nate and I got married on our farm! Yay!
- We met and lost our 1st baby (Thomas) at 20 weeks.
- We had our second baby successfully (well he did do it on his own schedule) a year later. We love our sweet, smart, silly Ollie more than words.
- Nate started his own successful electrical business.
- Over the 5 years since we moved on the new farm,
- We have redone 40 out of 80 acres of 15 year old fencing. Goat proof chain link.
- Made major improvements on a very unfinished 5 bay garage/workshop- Now a dream workshop with guesthouse.
- Currently renovating the old farmhouse.
- Planning for our future house on the hill.
- Continue to produce and sell high quality organic mixed grass hay and have established an amazing clientele. (Plus a big shout out to our regular hay crew…best crew around!)
- Continue to raise goats (and now sheep). We have a herd of a hundred goats and sheep who help manicure our hay fields – weeding and fertilizing during the off season to help produce quality organic hay.
- Lots of dirt work and cleaning up of our farm which was unlived in for 15 years and just used for cattle before we purchased it from a lovely neighbor couple.
- Happily been added to the modern times with fiber internet this past year thanks to our neighboring county and Nate digging a very long trench to our house. Boy, you don’t know how good you have it – being forced to live on satellite internet is ridiculous – no bandwith, slow speed, and high price.
- Plus lots and lots of other things I know I am forgetting…but it has been 5 years worth of stuff.
