Farm Girl vs Farm House: Blueberry

Back in October I bought another farm because ~~I didn't have enough to do~~. No because I have always liked "destination spots" When my kids were little we always planned an afternoon to go the local pumpkin patch and we would walk the fields looking for the "perfect pumpkin." But it wasn't just pumpkins, it was a petting zoo, apple cider and pony rides. And it was an memorable afternoon of family time with my kids. Then there was the Christmas Tree farm and that was as fun as the Pumpkin Patch........... just a lot colder!

I have always love the idea of having a "U PICK BLUEBERRY FARM" and I have told this kids enough times I am sure they are sick of it. My biggest hang up was, my farm is on a dead end gravel/seal coat road that you can not get to with GPS. I have no parking and there is not any tilled land right now. Just not the "right" setting for a public place.

Then there was a farm that came up for sale down the road from me that sits on a main highway. When it came up for sale I drove in the driveway and looked around. I always loved it and I could still picture the old man that lived there out feeding his cattle. He passed away a couple of years ago and place went into an estate where it was bought by a local BIG AG farmer. The farmer wanted the ground but not the 1897 house and barns. Wow. So I forgot about the place until my daughter Cheeo made me call the realtor and make an appointment, We looked at the place and the price was right. $109,900. for the house, out buildings and 5 acres. I told Cheeo that the farm had to have a purpose because I didn't need another payment. At that moment I realized that THIS PLACE was going to be the destination place I have always wanted. Cheeo was on board and we made an offer. The survey come back wrong (how the hell that happens I don't know) so we ended up with 6.5 acres, house, and out buildings for 115,000.00 Here are the pictures and you will see why I fell in LOVE with the place.
