平和なカントリーファームの雰囲気

We are David and Emily Varela, parents of 8 children from 27-16 years old. David was raised in Chihuahua, Mexico and Emily was born in Wisconsin, USA and lived in several states as a child until her parents settled in nearby Cookeville. After moving west for several years where she met David, we moved back to Tennessee and began raising our children. We chose Jackson County because of its more remote and simple lifestyle opportunities.

We live on a small farm where we raise most of our own food organically. We also own and operate Amigos Construction and build mostly residential homes. Business often takes us to Mexico, Israel, and Turkey where we enjoy interacting with the people of those and other cultures that we come in contact with along the way. We love meeting great people from all over the world.

The cottage is simply furnished, encouraging a spirit of rest and relaxation. Views from the porch are serene, and the focus of their beauty changes from season to season. Wildlife, including deer and turkeys, can sometimes be seen foraging in one of the nearby pastures. And at times our livestock graze near enough to be hand fed through the fence.

During the warmer seasons, the chickens lay eggs in their house in the yard, fruit can be picked from the small backyard orchard, and vegetables from the container gardens on the porch.

When our family is available, we also offer optional services of preparing fresh, wholesome meals and teaching about our ways of life, including how to milk a cow, make butter, cheese, bread, and necessary life skills that have been practiced since the beginning of time.
