Schnepf Farms

A fun day exploring the farm. We rode the hay wagon, played on the playground, visited some animals and Lily and Papaw rode the train.  It was interesting to hear the lengths they had to go to to save the peach trees which are in blossom now.  Flooded the fields with geothermal water, ran propane heaters and hired a helicopter to fly back and forth to keep the heat lowered.  Will be eager to see how the peaches do this year.

While we are part timers now, we hope to move to becoming full-timers eventually. John works on his HO model of Ellis, KS UP railroad and Jane persues her search for used books to read and sell on Amazon. We winter in Apache Junction, AZ and summer in Indiana.
