A little over a year has gone by since we finished The Cottage (That’s what we are calling the little house now). So much has changed. We always knew we wanted to live at the farm, but never really knew when that would happen. I’m a big believer of “everything happens for a reason”. I’m… Read more »

This small addition to the farm will be a 600 square foot cottage with a bathroom and kitchenette. It will be used as a Bride’s Changing Room for events, a vacation rental, and… Read more »
