Our family lives in the thumb of Michigan in the heart of celery and carrot country outside a farming community. We have lived in the area for 17 years and in our cosy farmhouse for 15.
We have 4 horses, all raised pretty much from babies at our place, a mini pony, an ewe to keep the pony company, chickens, ducks, fruit trees and a big garden. We have a mini farm or gentleman's farm.
Matt works for GM as a modelmaker and I am a homemaker. However, I stay very busy. Between the farm, tutoring and caring for the girls overseas, managing our oldest daughter's dance program which includes making costumes, and caring for my family here, I don't sit around much.
The farm is really my baby, but everyone loves (and hates) different aspects of it. But at the end of the day, we all get a lot of happiness and satisfaction from being out with the critters, working in the yard or barn and picking the fruit, veggies from the garden or collecting eggs.
