Longacre Farm continues to grow and change.  It feels like a dynamic and evolving community with so much going on.  After 33 years of living in their wonderful house, Susan and Roger have moved into the reconstructed 1882 farmhouse at the center of the property.  They follow their Longacre Farm partners stretching back to their beginnings and to the original Long Family in the early 1970's. The Smiths are embracing this change and experiencing life at the heart of the farm, taking in the ever changing views, and hustle bustle of farm life around them.

Matt and Megan also have big changes on their horizons. They broke ground on land they bought adjoining Longacre Farm and will have their own house built within 6 months. The house will be a south-facing, passive solar, energy efficient building with wood heat. For Matt, farm chores will be close by as he takes a short stroll to the barnyard to feed the animals. Having Megan right here on the Farm is something we have all waited for, for a long time. She and her two dogs Tess and Toby will enjoy many aspects of our daily life, as she picks veggies from the garden, flowers and greens for her special arrangements and they run unencumbered all around the fields.

The Longacre office and infirmary have also moved into the basement of 1001 Markelsville Rd., now called Community House.  (Yes, we've been busy!) Having these located so close to everything else has many benefits. Our days here are filled with evolution as we adapt to what seems to be best for us all.  Change is invigorating.
