This is the story of our house and farm. Jordan and I designed the house, and Jordan (with the help of family and friends) is building it. It's a "green" house, which means that, wherever possible, the materials we use are natural, local and safe for the environment. Once the house is complete, we will keep you updated on the progress of the farm. We hope you enjoy watching our house, farm and family grow!

Our Best Foot Forward
While landscaping isn't our top priority this year, we have tried to keep things looking somewhat manicured, at least in front of the house. Sure, some of it is for our neighbor's sake, but we also needed to rip out overgrown trees and fauna whose roots were destroying the foundation.
One thing we haven't touched yet is the row of wild rose bushes that line the very front of our property. They are prolific the entire summer, and they smell heavenly!
This is our view of the setting sun in the summer. If you can manage to avoid the toxic combo of mosquitoes, black flies and no-see-ums, the front of the house is a lovely place to be!



It was great spending time with the family! Oh, and I don't think I said thanks for the jams and the strawberry shortcake, thanks!
