The Homeplace is an old family farm in the Midwest. It has been farmed for over a hundred years. Several generations have lived and worked on this farm since the late 1800's, when a home was first built and the land first farmed. It is a delightful place, full of history and great stories. I have had a life filled with joy because of being able to live and work around small family farms. My family along with family friends have had many pleasurable years spending time with our children, sharing our love of animals, both wildlife and livestock. We've enjoyed farming, gardening and nature. This story shares some of that with others. The pictures and story are all from a small midwest town where I raised my 6 children. I hope I pass on an appreciation for hard work, sharing and nature.
