- Summer 2006: Felt led to step into farming a bit. Started exploring options.
- May 2007: Brought 6 chickens from Ethan's uncle to be backyard chickens at our house in town.
- August 2007: Purchased our first Dexter cattle. These stayed at Ethan's dad's 1 1/2 hours away.
- January 2008: Located 40 acres of CRP ground in prairie grasses with woods. Even though there were no utilities, structures, or fences - we thought it was the place for us. Started designing a house to build and started dreaming of a farming reality.
- April 2008: Purchased 40 acres of dirt, prairie grass, and trees.
- June 2008: Construction of house begins. (To see the process, click on the topic archive "Building our House"
