'We began our back-to-the-farm movement in 1981, when we acquired our Milam county farm, outside of Gause, which is located one and one-half hours northeast of Austin. At that time we were in other careers (real estate and art), so the farming was a week-end adventure. We were also raising our three children and none of them wanted to be seen with a hoe in their hands! By 1991, towards the end of the Texas depression, we decided we might as well follow our dream full-time. The children were just about grown, and besides, what did we have to lose? Art prices had bottomed out and the real estate bust had turned Larry into a house remodeler. Thus we began farming the Milam county farm, growing cool weather crops (carrots, lettuce, broccoli, etc.) and hot weather crops (tomatoes -- lots of tomatoes! -- squash, cucumbers, etc) which we sold '-Boggy Creek Farm
