đ Life on the Land
Weâre a working homestead, and you may spot chickens roaming, hear the distant sound of livestock, or catch a glimpse of a morning deer through the trees. Itâs quiet out hereâand we like it that way. Country life brings beauty, stillness, and the occasional visitor like mice, bugs, or scorpions, so we like to keep expectations real and relaxed.
