Everyone said we were crazy – farms are too much work, who wants to live so far out in the country, think of the winters, etc. We went ahead and purchased a small farm and farmhouse in summer 2015.
This site describes our journey and the various animal friends we have made along the way.
Thanks for visiting our site and we hope one day you’ll visit Lucky Penny Acres!
