Above all freedom do do as we please when we please.

And we have hundreds of gallons of wine we have produced to sell or use.

We are very happy to be out of the wine business and to pass it on to a younger and stronger generation. They will build upon a very strong and beautifyl foundation we have set.

Now tell me what is wrong with that?

The land you see is ours,along with about another 100 acres +/-.

Labor is me,dad,my son and one other employee.

Pesticide drift,easy,spray when the wind is not blowing,like in the early morning.

That hay and corn silage is your cheese,milk,ice cream,yogurt and any other dairy product you eat.

Also,I enjoy farming,it does get tiresome at times,but would rather farm than sit in an office all day long. wink
