20 Years of Neglect...

     Welcome to Open Range Farm. Once a working farm, the premises has become a place of seemingly never ending projects of rejuvenation. The property has seen its share of gardens, cows, pigs, chickens, goats, and even a few horses in years past, but since the children of the owners grew up and moved on, and the owners themselves were no longer capable of upkeep, mother nature slowly has had her way. The original owners were my grandparents, and now that they have passed on, I, Aaron Ingram, live on the property and take care of the land.
     Just recently I, along with my friends, Brent and Katie England, and Clint Ulmer, have decided to dedicate this year to overhauling the farm. Our plan is to bring the place back from its current state of abandonment and neglect little by little to make it what it once was, and more. This includes everything from repairing fences and reintroducing livestock, to implementing a fully natural "market" garden, as well as managing the land for its fullest potential.
     The purpose for this blog is so that you, the wonderful viewer, are able to come along with us on this venture. We hope that through our mistakes, or possible genius discoveries, we might save you some trouble in the future. Not to mention we would like to entertain you, and share our pride in our accomplishments. So, since we will be doing our best to keep you informed and entertained, please humor us and comment every once in a while.
