My wife and I decided to become farmers after getting involved in the community in Des Moines.  Food Inc. was one major contributor to our wanting to better our food system.  Our goal was to own a farm by 2014.  However, looking online we found an Amish house that was for sale off of Highway 14. We looked at it in the dead of winter and fell in love.  We moved in that year (2011) and since then we have decided that country life is the way for us.  So in essence we decided to move to “the farm” not necessarily to Wayne County.  We knew not a single soul in Wayne county before we moved.  Now that we have lived here a little over 2 years, we have met more what I call “real” people than we ever knew in the 8 years we lived together in the city.  Wayne county people are the best!
