What a year....
Wow was 2020 a challenging year! Due to Covid-19, we were unable to get the seeds we needed for the homestead, or the baby chicks we needed!

The 1765 Homestead is back and will soon be reopen for business!

It is 2 stories with 2 bedrooms upstairs. The downstairs has a kitchen and bathroom in an addition that was built on around 1850. There is also a living room and dining room. The basement is unfinished and
