My wife and I moved from the Philadelphia suburbs to Northern Vermont to build a house and a farm. After a few years now we've discovered that we're not just making a "lifestyle you don't have to vacation from" but what we've really been doing is building two Farmers. The experience has changed us much more than we thought it would, smartened us up, matured us and allowed us to realize we are part of Nature and that Human Beings are fundamentally good creatures. Each year we get stronger as we work and learn and keep marching toward the goal of joyful resilience. Each year we get more confident that we can face the many challenges waiting for us in the future and be able to collaborate with others do the same.
