SUMMER PICNIC

Summer picnic at the lake on Purple Rock Farm.

Mikkel and Mauricio had the chance to meet many of our friends this weekend when we hosted our annual picnic out at the lake here on Purple Rock Farm. It was a glorious sunny day; brilliant blue sky filled with fluffy clouds.

Swimming, fishing, canoeing and plenty of good food and conversation.

Wind Turbine Update

Thought you would want to see some photos of our wind turbine on the farm. It is placed in the field next to our house with the electricity buried underground to the house.

We're excited about this new landmark on our property! Be sure to email or phone us if you're interested in information about installing a personal wind turbine on your own property!
We would love to talk with you about it!

Welcome To Our Family!

There are two new members in our Purple Rock Farm family. We are happy to welcome Mikkel and Mauricio to our home. Mikkel joins us from Denmark, Mauricio from Brazil.

The boys have joined us as exchange students for the coming school year.

We are very excited to be parents again in this wonderful way.

You can briefly meet the boys here, County Couple Hosts Exchange Students From Different Worlds , in an article from the Frankfort Times. We will be posting pictures and family updates soon!
