Jon & Allison...the couple:
-
For our first date, Allison drove five-hours through a blizzard, having only committed to grab one beer. That one beer turned into two, and the start of a very happy life together.
-
Our idea of "vacation" is a trip where you end up in the woods, dirty, scratched up, exhausted, and sore ...but you're still smiling!
-
We're still figuring out the division of labor as we start the farm -- but Jon is primarily "the grower and fixer" and Allison is primarily "the helper and marketer."
-
We have two Chessies: Hazel & Bosun.

Jonathan...the grower and fixer:
-
Jon has wanted to farm since he was a little kid, growing up with abundant gardens. Being a full-time farmer is a dream come true.
-
When given a choice, he'll choose the adventure 9 out of 10 times. Scratch that, 10 out of 10!
-
Jon travelled the world serving in the United States Coast Guard for 17 years. As a boatswain, he specialized in search & rescue and law enforcement.
-
Jon's hobbies include: fish tanks, Bonsai, board games, Arduino electronics, duck hunting, carpentry, beekeeping...and the list goes on.

Allison...the helper and marketer:
-
Allison works remotely as a copywriter for Aster Brands. Thus, her "farm work" occurs mainly in the evenings and on weekends.
-
If money grew on trees, she'd travel more often. International travels thus far have taken her to: Canada, Mexico, Honduras, New Zealand, Fiji and Vietnam.
-
Fears = snakes. Exposure therapy -- whether a garden snake in the flower bed or a rattle snake on a NOLS expedition -- hasn't worked thus far.
-
When life gets stressful, Allison tends to bake. Any bets on how many loafs of banana bread she'll make in 2019?
