Our Dream:

We moved to our 15 acre mostly wooded property in East King County in April of 2005. This was a realization of our dream come early. Saving and planning for an eventual move to a rural area, Gordon sent me an e-mail one day with a link to an interesting property. He suggested I check it out and then said somewhat casually, "We wouldn't go look at it though". "What?" I replied, "You aren't going to dangle that in front of me and then not go look at it." So we went, and fell in love with the land, and soon it was ours. We spent a joyously relaxed and sensual summer that first year, exploring the land, flora and fauna and the wonderful quiet. A new roof and all manor of repairs plus working kept us busy. Then, in the fall of 2006 along came our first real venture into farming; Goats! These weren't any old goats, this was a Kinder goat named Vanda and her companion, a pygmy goat named Pepper. We had no idea what we were getting or getting into then, but many a story has started that way.
