So some folks will ask us how in the world did we wound up here in “stickville”… Other folks will just flat out say that we got the bright idea to leave the City…as crazy as that sounds. And some more folks will say that we have “retired” to the country. And our answer? Yes, to all of the above. After 23 years in the City for me, over 30 for my Husband, and over 7 years together, we made our exit from Atlanta, GA: the hellacious traffic capital of the South.
It all started after we married in the fall of 2006… We would take drives in the country “looking” for land while visiting my family in the country. After a year or so, we found our spot. Almost 30 acres of wooded bliss nestled between two large horse farms just a few miles outside of town. This was our “retirement plan” and we made a pact to be residing here in this town in five years from the purchase of the land in October 2007. Fast forward five years (all five years spent off/on cleaning up/maintaining the land and constructing our barn) and here we are… residing full-time in my Grandparents’ tiny house a few miles down the road, both of us still working full-time, and daily planning our dream of turning this into Wilsons Farms.
