Mickey never disappoints for a laugh and entertainment. An Australian Shepherd, he loves the wide open space we have for him to run around. He often thinks he can drive the tractor or gator, and loves his job as lead lookout when we are out in the gardens.
About Us
Our Story
We acquired this property in 2021 with the intention of making the property into our dream homestead. We spent many of our initial days clearing brush and determining the best location for our home and pole barn. By 2023, we were able to move into our beautiful new home and begin living our dream.
Maple Syrup
We have done very small, personal use batches of syrup for years. But when we realized how many maple trees we had on our 25 acre property, we knew we had to share the wealth! That's why in 2026 (just recently), we started harvesting larger amounts of sap so that we could begin producing more for our local community.
Pumpkins and Gourds
We had a successful crop of pumpkins and ornamental gourds this year (2026) and have started selling them. We will keep selling until they sell out! You can also look for some of them to be displayed in the East Sparta circle (town pump).
