HEARTWARMING ACRES Charles Goeke & Family 1283 W. Dansville Rd. Mason, MI 48854 517-676-4469 |
| In
the mid 1980's my wife, Linda Smith, and I decided to move out of town
and operate a small farm in conjunction with our other jobs, volunteer
work, and raising two children. Part of the reason for moving to the
country
was to provide a clean holism enviroment to raise a family. We raised
two
kids, who are doing quite well. In addition we raised sheep, corn, a
horse,
pigs, calves, pumpkins, cats, ducks, geese, trees, pasture, and
vegetables
(not necessarily all at the same time.) I got a chance to buy a 1953
John Deere Model 50, similar to the tractors
he grew up with, and raise animals. Linda got a chance to operate a
small craft business, quilt, and conduct quilting classes.
To express how we felt about this opportunity, we named our acreage and the business "Heartwarming Acres." Today the childern are grown and graduates of Michigan State University. Linda died December 19, 2000 from a rare brain related illness. Thanks for
