Hello and welcome to Farm and Finery. This website is all about our journey from life in a mid-sized college town to life on a 44 acre farm. Except it isn’t a farm – yet.
We are breaking ground (I hope) in October 2019. This was supposed to occur in July 2019, then August, then September… But I think we finally have all the many, many moving pieces in place. The land has been separated from the rest of my mother in law’s estate and deeded in our name. After meeting, interviewing, and vetting 5 home builders, we’ve selected the one for us and after shopping around for construction loans from 4 lending institutions, we’ve crunched the numbers and are ready to close on our construction loan.
This blog will document this journey, both for us and for family and friends who are interested in following along. I’ll also highlight some of my adventures as I travel for work – a lot.
Let me know in the comments below if there is anything in particular you would like covered as we get our blog up and running. I’m very open to suggestions as neither John nor I have ever done anything like this! To continue following the journey from the beginning, scroll down and click on the name of the next blog post under “next”. And thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs, Libby
