"Because farming is a family business!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
| We mean it when we say we are a family farm. We believe that raising our kids in a farm environment is the best thing we can do. We home school our kids, and they help with everything on the farm. We believe they are learning valuable lessons about motivation, and about how you can accomplish anything you want to if you put your heart into it. |
| Along with helping on the farm, they raise poultry, rabbits, milk goats, and horses. Their days are always full, but we make sure they get rewards too. They spend a month each summer at camp in Colorado, and we believe it is essential that we travel internationally with them once a year to some incredible place. This year it was Copper Canyon, Mexico, and in years past we have been to the jungles of Costa Rica and snorkeling in Oaxaca. |
