Welcome to The Land at McLean Acres.

I’m not sure if we’ve been friends for a crazy long time, or our adventure is just beginning together, but I’m glad you’re tagging along for moral support. I wanted to create space to share our story. Our story of “the land”. Last year on a family trip to Italy, we visited a small family farm that had been around for several generations. A young lady, while teaching us how to make homemade pasta, told us the story of “their land” and how their family acquired it and built it into something beautiful and amazing. I was the girl ugly face crying at farm table #2. I couldn’t contain my emotions. The story hit home. I too have a dream, and it’s at the beginning stages of unfolding before our very eyes. I want to capture that story. I want to record every tiny little detail for future generations to remember the love and devotion that went into preparing the land at McLean Acres. What’s the dream? How did it come about? Well, that will be coming in the next several posts. I’m going to treat this space as somewhat of an online journal. A place to put it all out on the table. I want to share the good times and victories, as well as the hard times and losses. There have been so many life lessons learned already. We are so thankful for this journey. It has been just that, a journey.
