the homestead


In the early 1970s, Mary lived in this log cabin which sits, unoccupied now, between the house and the barn here on the farm. It is a beautiful little house, which they built themselves. She home birthed her children here, home schooled her children here, kept chickens and cows and worked the land with draft horses. Oh, and they didn't have electricity either. We have so much to learn from John + Mary!

That's why they ended up with kids...no television!
