1829 Log House
In 1994, we bought an
original 1829 log home located in southeast Ohio. It fulfilled a life-long
dream to live in a real log cabin. Yes, that is it pictured
in the header
above. It seems appropriate to call the place "Long Time Ago Farm" as it certainly was
established a long time ago.
Visit the
Farm Fun Photos page to enjoy
pictures of
friends and visitors to Long Time Ago Farm. Petting and brushing
the miniature donkeys are
certainly favorite activities of most. Sighting deer as they graze
or walk down the hill to the creek is another.
Step Back in Time
It feels like
time has stood still here. Leave the TV behind and enjoy the beautiful
foothills. We would say, 'enjoy the peace and quiet', but the donkeys bray,
the cats purr, the crickets chirr, and the frogs peep, so it's actually kind of
noisy around here! Occasionally we
open the house up as a
Bed & Breakfast. It has been our
pleasure to have visitors from all over the United States as well as Canada and
England. We are making some changes here
- adding a bathroom on the main floor and necessary updates to the
kitchen. We hope to finish up a few
things before we welcome guests again. If we are not able to have you as
our guest at this time, we will be pleased to help you find other accommodations
nearby. Please call for information.
Loss by Fire
In January 1996, two teenage boys acted
stupidly in deciding to smoke cigarettes in a 170-year old hay barn. It took less than two hours to fall to the ground yet it burned
for days. We cleared away the remains and started anew. The new barn
isn't grand like the original but it is more practical for our time.
Today,
Our Long Ears call it
home. Meet the miniature
Mediterranean and Poitou donkeys - Nettie, Sage, Mullie Girl and Rocket Man.
Learn about the care and feeding of donkeys, why they're called Desert Canaries,
and why donkeys are not stubborn.
Things to Do Nearby
There is so much to do
when visiting Perry county and southeast Ohio area. We are in the
Appalachian foothills so no matter what else you plan sure to enjoy the scenery.
Dine on real German food at the Clay Haus restaurant, play
golf at any of several fine courses nearby, visit several nearby llama farms, see many places of historical interest,
visit the old mining town of Shawnee, and definitely stop at the farmers'
