Ok, that's actually not the name. In searching for a name - for the land itself and hopefully the market garden business to come - we have been at a loss. Vanessa (jokingly, cleverly) suggested Furlough Farm, and for now it's the best we have. (Other than VegMo! - but that's just a bit too much.)
We needed a name for the blog, and so there it is.
In case anyone who doesn't know us actually looks at this blog... on February 6, 2009 we became the proud owners (thanks mostly to my mom. Thanks, Mom!) of 4 acres with a 1930's "farmhouse," a garage, and a massive old barn. (OK, like most people, the bank actually owns it.) There was little else on the property except for one young apple tree and one young plum tree. We want to document our journey from the blank slate it was, to the sustainable homestead we dream of. At some point my mom will move up (after retirement... or maybe before!) We'll build another house, and she has promised to shear the sheep.
Stay tuned for photos and progress reports...
Angela & Matt
