Foreclosure ... plain and simple. Well, maybe not that simple but a major contributing factor. God would probably be the main reason.
We started milking a cow, discovered direct marketing and it was a downward spiral from there. Both of us wanted to farm and this presented the path to get there. But in our young foolishness we got a mortgage and eventually my dh was laidoff. The farm didn't pay enough to cover the mortgage. So we lost our original place and found ourselves hurting for land. Then God blessed us and we got our new place. No mortgage. No money owed to anyone. It would be wrong for me to call it our property because in truth it's His. He provided the money and really the land because we got it obscenely cheap for the market. We've found that any of the neighbors would have bought it for a little more than what we paid. God is GOOD! But that doesn't mean it's easy.
So we ended up with 70ish acres of bare land. I do thank God it did have a perimeter fence that would hold cows at least. Thus the move commenced ...
