Description
We are a family homestead, we raise as much of our own food as we can while homeschooling our children. Aside from vegetables we grow; chickens, ducks, rabbits, and geese. Jason teaches music lessons and we have many instruments in our home should you like to make music or learn how. Ellen recently went back to work full time, and our oldest has graduated and is living in the city. The big project this winter and spring will be remodeling a small building for a sauna.
