|ONE|  year… It’s only a snippet but man we will truly treasure it .  We lived above the barn in the apartment while we transformed our 1930’s craftsmen.  The months quickly passed!  The 1 bedroom and 1 bath, bunks in the dining room, was a lifesaver. This small space did more than we expected.  It made us closer, gave us the chance to reflect on what really matters, gave us something to look forward to.  We still homeschooled, entertained, and loved!  Now that we have lived in our HOME for two weeks WOOHOO.. I kind of miss the apartment. 

In our “new” found world I think most of us have considered buying from locals and also stocking up our freezers. What about beef? How much is enough? How much is too much? I found this article from Clover Meadow’s Beef and they do an amazing job going over the most common questions when purchasing beef straight from a rancher. The idea of ranch beef is growing and no matter how you look at it, it’s a great option. 

My passion and the reason why I love helping clients move from city to country is to help preserve the ag mindset. My life and that of my small family has changed since we purchased our RANCHETTE. I grew up a farm girl and I wanted that so much for Josh and my kids. We are by no means big time farmers and ranchers, but our hobby farm is defiantly a huge part of our life. It changed our mindset so much. It influences what we value, the work that we fill our free time with, and the way our kids see the world.
