So, my parents own a big farm. It's 75 acres, 16 horses, 1/4 acre garden, an acre hay field and a nice little house that sits on the hill. In the garden we grow 34 tomato plants, two rows of butter peas, a row on squash, a row of cucumbers, a row of okra, a row of cantelope and watermelon, and a row of butter beans. sometimes we may grown corn and green beans but if we get too much one year we'll skip a year and then grow it again. All the horses are registered quarter horses. some of them are not broke yet, but most of them are. My father even has his own personal hay field that he gets about two or three cuttings off of a year. My parents farm is a retreat from life type of place. They've got a swimming pool and a hot tub. They've got the four wheeler that can be ridden over all the terrain. They've got the dirt bike my sister jumps the hills with. It's the perfect get away from the everyday! Every summer when the family gets together they do it at my parents farm. During the Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays when the family gets together again they do it at my parents farm. We never have a family get together that usually isn't at my parents farm. People we don't even know have heard about my parents farm. It's crazy and at the same time wonderful!!
