For 20 years, we have always dreamed of a small farm, but it wasn't until our busy corporate lives began to feel suffocating that the dream truly took root. We purchased a small tract in Chelsea, AL hoping to quench that desire. The problem was, it only flamed our fire.
A few months later, we stumbled upon this property, nestled in a rolling valley with a charming old farmhouse and sprawling acres of pasture. It felt like a piece of the puzzle had finally clicked into place. So, after a few sleepless nights and hours of prayer, we presented our offer to the owners, and Shady Oaks Family Farm was born.
Where we knew it wouldn't be easy. The initial months were filled with long hours of cleaning, planting, and learning from the seasoned farmers in the valley. The joy of creating a sustainable life on our land was undeniable. We started a small vegetable garden, hoping to turn it into a thriving patch supplying our family and friends with fresh produce. The farm has already become a place where our grandchildren run barefoot, explore the woods, fish in the pond, and learn the value of hard work.
Our farm is not just a place to live, it reflects our family's values and is a testament to a dream we dare to chase. It's a place where we hope our family and friends can connect with our creator, enjoy a slower pace, and where we leave a legacy for future generations. The decision to buy this farm wasn't about the next move or even owning land, it was about embracing a way of life that resonates with our spirit and souls.
As for what's next? The rest is HIS-story!
