People have hinted and just plain asked to see our farm. I am always hesitant to let anyone see it. Now, mind you, I am proud of our place. We have worked hard in the last 10 years to make it our home. But, the biggest concern is: it is not picture perfect. I can always see what needs to be done. The chicken coop needs cleaned, the weeding needs to be done, more mulch needs laid, greenhouse is a mess, etc... It never looks "company ready". As for the house, well, we'll just say it could use some attention and leave it at that!
I had a load of garden soil dropped by an old high school teacher of Jennifer's. He went on and on about our farm and how pretty it is. It was then I had that "aha" moment. It may not look like Martha's place but it is a fabulous WORKING farm. It will look messy at times as we priorize what must be done. I don't have the crew to do the work, nor would I want too. I like to do the work ourselves. That is what farmers do.
So: come over, visit, rest a spell. If the mess bothers you, weed a little, the pitchfork is beside the chicken coop door, water in the greenhouse, whatever makes you happy, is just fine with me. I love our little piece of heaven on earth and am more than willing to share it with you. WELCOME and...
See ya on the farm
Charlotte
