Rehoboth Farms - a new beginning - again!

We are on day 9 here at Rehoboth Farms and you may see some tired farmers walking around here but they are happy ones!  We are slowly getting the hang of this new venture along with all the equipment, quirks and quarks.  As Dave said this afternoon to a salesman who dropped in 'we are kind of lurching along,' starting one thing and getting somewhere but being distracted and doing something else before we finish the first thing.  It is quite the process.  But we have over 1/4 of the corn in already and all the hay is seeded that needed to be planted.  Another 280 acres or so to go!  That's huge for these farmers who have never had to farm this much land and when they did farm they had custom operators come in and do the field work for them.  Here we go on a huge learning curve with BIG green equipment.





The entry to our driveway from Road 30 North near Grunthal, Manitoba.  The sign says Holme Holsteins but we do hope that one day it will read REHOBOTH FARMS!

The view of the roadside - the driveway is just ahead.  Dave and Kristin's driveway is beyond that a bit.  Our house is just to the right - behind these majestic spruce trees.

I turned around and snapped another shot - the front of the farm with more beautiful evergreens.  They are very effective in stopping some of the dust from the ever present wind.

Keep driving up the drive, swing right and keep right and you will see our house!  This is the new abode we call home.  You are looking at our back entrance but I call this our front yard...more on that another time!  Behind me is the dairy barn.

A view of our house from the northwest.  The window is in the dining room where we gather for meals on occasion.  These days we seem to be eating out in the field or on the run to some location or another!


That's it for today's post.  There will be updates and lots of photos for us to share with you.  Kierra and Dayna are doing well on the computer too so I may get them to do a post on occasion as well.  It's a grand journey we are on and so far we are loving it!
