Are you sitting down? THE FARM OF HALE IS MOVING (at least we are going to try to). Margo and I have been presented with a great opportunity that we can't pass up. I will give you the short story. A friend of a friend has offered to let us rent a place in Fayetteville for a really good price. The house is really nice and bigger than what we are in now. It is on a few acres of land and we will be able to still have some of our animals. It will definitely be less of a farm but we won't have to give it up completely. You may ask, why in the world would we give up our when we love to farm so much and give up the farm that we have worked hard on. There are a few reasons, like living in Fayetteville where we work and play, but the main reason is money. We will be able to save a lot of money by moving. We pay a pretty big mortgage payment each month and very little of it goes to principle. Most of it we loose in interest and taxes and that won't change for several years. By moving to this new place for a pretty cheap rent we will be able to save a lot of money. Hopefully after a few years we will be able to save up a big chunk of money. And then we will be able to get another farm that is more where and what we want and be able to pay for a lot of it with the money we have saved. We have always known that we did not want to stay in our current location long term so when this opportunity arose we thought we would jump on it. If it works out it will help us get way ahead on paying for a house.
So, that is the short version. If you want to know more details, let me know and I will further explain it to you. The only catch is that we have to sell our house before we can get into this other place. We aren't obligated to this other place so if we don't sell our place then we will just stay here but we would really like to sell it. So, if you know of anyone who might be interested in our little farm, send them our way. I created a blog website about our house for sale with a full description. You can check it out by clicking here, and then send it to everyone you know who might be interested.

sounds as if you guys have it all planned out. I hope you find a buyer and everything goes well for you.
Had a little peak at the site you are currently on, and I have to admit to being pretty impressed
Let us know when you get settled in Fayetteville! In what area will you be living? Dave and I would love you to have you guys over for dinner sometime!
I hope it all works out for you guys. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Next time you come through to Grannies, stop by our house. We'll let you have the pick of our dogs. Just kidding.
