I am excited to hear the dreams and memories of both David and the Reverend and his wife.
I think it is wonderful that you are taking time to document the history of the farm and the visions each steward had. The farm comes alive in a way that cannot compare to documentation solely of your time there. It's, of course, important to document your memories, too, but the farm becomes a tapestry with the history added. Each steward has/had different vision and seeing how they all intertwine makes it so exciting.
My only input would be to, as best your able, extract their memories, dreams, wins and losses with the land. What is their most cherished memory? What might they have done different, given the chance?
Such an exciting project with so many possibilities. And I am being long winded 😂. Best wishes with your project. I think of it as a memory quilt in words.
Sue thank you for this lovely comment and for your advice, too. I'm really looking forward to this time with them and will keep that image of a memory quilt in words in mind.
The cookbook is such a labor of love so that one is just going to have to take as long as it takes! But thank you, I'm excited to collect their stories as well, and to continue meeting people in the community who have ties to this old farm, too!
Little Dream Farm is clearly a truly blessed place. I'm looking forward to hearing all of the stories from past and present and to hearing about your process of writing too. I sometimes dream of being able to write a book but just don't have the confidence. I truly admire your 'can do' spirit.

I love history so I'm excited that you're gathering stories of the past to save and share! Almost as excited as I am about the cookbook !

I would love to purchase a signed copy of your book 💕 pitsteelgirl@gmail.com
Wonderful, thank you! Sent you an email!
I loved Sarah’s book, when I ordered it from her a couple years ago. I love her style, it’s like having a conversation 😊.
