• The lease is almost all done! After a number of back-and-forths between ourselves and the Ames family we are very close to having a completed lease. We’ll be leasing the land for five years, with the idea that it will be renewed into a longer term lease if everyone is happy after those first five years.
• We are working on forming an LLC, a Limited Liability Company. This will protect us personally from any legal liability that might come out of the business. Although the farm property itself will be called Langwater Farm, we need to pick a different name for our business entity (I know, it’s a little confusing). Currently naming the LLC is our biggest hurdle… any suggestions??
• Kevin bought a pickup truck! It’s green.
• Kate and Mary (Rory and Kevin’s mom) went and visited the farmhouse where Rory and Alida will be living. We’ll be leasing the farmhouse, which is on the property, along with the farm. Apparently the house has a wood stove, plenty of room for visitors, and a secret staircase! Couldn’t ask for more. Here’s a picture of the house.

So that’s what we’ve been up to. Needless to say, we’re getting very excited about the part where we stop worrying about LLCs and leases, and actually get to farm!

Stay tuned for more updates soon. In the meantime let us know if you have ideas for our business name.
