Here’s a view of our uppermost field — in terms of elevation and distance from the road — we named it Ss. Cyril and Methodius because they went up. (Yeah, I know…)
Here’s the approach:
And here’s an, unfortunately, browned-out view of the pasture in mid-fall:
We have not yet decided how to use this land. Most likely it will be hayfields and winter forage.
Preacher John’s
A local old timer told us that this tumbledown house on our property line was once the home of Preacher John. (Or maybe it was Preacher George?). In any case, it’s good to know that this has always been Gospel land!
So many ideas about how to repurpose this little bit of history into our construction.
All Saints of America
Finally, we present the last piece of open land on our property. (A property that is mostly wooded). It is a field that we’re naming in honor of All Saints of America. From the very beginning, we’ve wanted this project to be an expression of American Orthodoxy. Not a redoubt of some foreign, esoteric religion, but the Church of Jesus Christ that’s had roots in North America since the 18th Century. A faith that belongs in this land.
The name also connects us to our roots and honors dear friends.
Here’s the approach:
And here’s the land. You really get the sense that you’re in the mountains when you stand here. It’s a perfect place for the boys to camp and hunt.
And fish:
All Saints of America will include the open land above and a large portion of our wooded acreage.
Check back often for updates and please keep us in your prayers!
