We call Stone Cottage Farm in Mayville, MI home. We raise dairy goats (Alpines & Nubians), and chickens, keep honeybees, and enjoy a large vegetable garden each summer. This will be our third summer on the farm, and after the first year of moving in, cleaning out barns & basements, putting up fences, and getting ready for goats, and the second year of planning our farm wedding (October 2011), we're looking forward to being able to give our garden the attention it deserves in 2012!
