The Market is Open

Today is the day we go back to school! As homeschooler’s we get to make our own schedule and find the timing that works best for us. This start of school year finds me more apprehensive and a bit sad. My journey with homeschooling is drawing down, and my kiddos are starting new paths. Hannah graduates this year, and Jonah is in college full time. Next year it will be just Eric and I.
Part of our mission in starting the farm was to keep our children close. Being military we have always moved around without a home base. Princeton is our home base now – I am not moving again! We have purposely done most of the work on our farm ourselves, in an effort to really make this OUR home. We have fenced and cross fenced six acres this summer, all by ourselves. We are preparing to put up a greenhouse. We are making memories in the hope that the kids will one day take over the sustainable farm. A farm that sustained their father and I emotionally, physically and financially. That is what farming is about in my mind. Creating a Legacy that can be passed down, creating a financially viable way for your children and their children to make a living.
I hope one day that my grandchildren will live on this farm, spending days working and playing. It is our little slice of heaven. I am using these dreams to pull me through this time of transition for the kids and myself. Where did the time go?
See you on Friday,
Angela
