Early Morning: Honest Farm

Honest Farm

Our farm is relatively small for a farm, 17 acres. We haven’t yet made use of the beautiful woods behind the farmhouse, we need to clear a path to get back out there. I call our farm Honest Farm because it is an honest farm, simple, unassuming, yet beautiful and very functional in its own way.

In the morning, the sun comes up behind the pasture and lights it up in the most beautiful way. The background is not as grand as the first Bedlam Farm, yet it is more than grand enough, it always gives me a sense of being home, having found our home. We can manage this place, now and well into the future, hopefully forever, and Maria is creature of the farm now, as natural to it as the apple trees or streams in the back.

We can see the whole farm from the pasture, we have strong and good fences all around it, good and solid shelter, room for hay, fresh water running underground.

We have found our place in the sun, our farm, an honest farm. The sun reminds me of this every day.
