My daughter and son-in-law have a small organic farm outside of Dayton, Oregon. We moved to the state to be close to them and support their hard work as they returned to the honorable profession of farming. Up untill now we have lived 15 miles away. Last year an opportunity came up to purchase a small farm right next door to their farm. After much serious reflection of life goals and values, we decided to buy the farm and will move to join them in the next six months. We are recreating an old fashioned family farm. The joy of being there for them, our grandchildren, raising my sheep and sharing good quality organic food is indescribable.
Will we all be financially rich, no, but we will have a richness of life that others can only dream about. We consider our family to be truly blessed. We learn from our children every day.My daughter and son-in-law have a small organic farm outside of Dayton, Oregon.
