Maybe here!

We might have found the farm! It's just right. There's plenty of room for the greenhouses, for Aaron, me, Wiley, chickens, mini donkeys, and bees! There is already a chicken coop on the property and both chickens and Guinea Hens live there now. The Guinea hens come with the property and roam it freely. Here's a shot of them:


They eat bugs like tics and fleas so I am happy to have them around if this ends up becoming our farm.

It's got a lot of room for the greenhouses- and lots of room for expansion. It has two barns, a chicken coop, a large toolshed, two grills, a fire pit, an above ground salt water pool, and the whole property is fenced. The main house has been refurbished and has all new appliances and updated interiors and windows. The red barn has an apartment in it that is totally new.

Here are a few photos: (click on them to make them bigger)


This first photo shows where I think the greenhouses would work best. It is a field that is south of the main house and close to the creek that runs through the property. The creek is where you see that line of trees and the main road is where you see the white fence.


This one shows the red barn that has the apartment in it. you can see the front door, sort of. It's at the far right in this photo, where all the plants are.


Here's a better shot of the red barn apartment. The other section of the red barn is storage but if we do end up with this place, I would finish the interior and turn it into a art and yoga studio that could also double as a guest house.


Here's a shot of the back of the main house. Also of my Dad looking towards the south field. What isn't shown in this photo is the jungle gym, which might stay on the property. I wouldn't pay extra for it, but if it stays, all our friends and family with kids will enjoy it.



Here's looking up towards the red barn and the chicken coop area.



This shot is looking up to the north field- where the power lines run. My Dad is freaked by them a bit, but they don't bother me. He asked me to do some research on if they are a danger to my health.


The backyard. If this becomes ours, I'd create a big deck out here.


The barn at the back of the property. This is the actual barn- it's got a loft for hay and stalls for animals. It's even got electricity.



My Mom sitting on the front porch of the main house. She loved the glider.



The south side of the house and the south part of the yard. If you were standing right where this photo was taken and then turned around, you would be looking at the south field and the line of trees where the creek is beyond that.
