In this second episode of Living the Simple Good Life, Lynne and I share more of our journey and our personal story, as we continue on the path to pursuing a simple good life (as we define it for our lives), through becoming Christian agrarian homesteaders, sustainable small scale farmers and new media podcasters.
Barry and I use this second episode, early on in our podcasting endeavors, to share with our listeners our life’s purpose and mission, which can now be of even greater scope and effectiveness, with the addition of our podcasting.
I speak from my heart and Barry’s heart too, I know, when I say, “it’s not only our desire, it’s our passion to be a genuine source of encouragement and support for younger individuals, couples and families who are pursuing Christ-centered, home and family based, sustainable agrarian lifestyles, it’s our prayer for each and every one of these podcasts and it’s our life mission for this stage of our lives and our ministry.”
Lynne and I share with our listeners more about our search for small farm property.
We continue on with our conversation from our first episode and talk more about our search and trips to NW Central Florida, we tell about our second and third trips back to that area and back to the small farm property we discovered on our first trip.
Barry knows that I am popping at the seams in excitement and eagerness as I reveal the names of Trenton and Chiefland Florida, two great little rural farming communities that we left unnamed from our last podcast.
Lynne and I both give our listeners some general information about Trenton and Chiefland. Lynne talks about the Trenton town slogan: “Welcome to Trenton A Community of Friends”, and we discuss that it is more than a slogan, and that on our repeated trips there that we are coming to learn, that it truly describes the folks who live in the Trenton Florida area.
We first discovered the Trenton slogan on the old city water tank located in a park in historic downtown Trenton.

Thank you both for your well wishes for our new homestead.
Loved your podcast. Larry and I are the parents of 5 of our own children and a neice and a nephew. We have a farm located in Putnam County WV. Our dream was to own a farm and become self-sufficient. God has blessed us! We have been here going on 5 years and we are still away from being completely self=sufficient, but raising our children with faith, morals and values was most important for us. I pray that you are able to continue on your journey…….. praying for you.
Greetings Melissa,
Faith, morals and values was most important to us…Wow…we thank the Lord for godly parents like you and Larry who have their priorities so wonderfully ordered.
Great to hear that you folks are living your dream and are well along on your journey. We would be very interested to know more about your family, your journey and your farming endeavors.
Thank you for listening to our podcast, we are so pleased that you enjoyed it, and Lynne and I both thank you so very much for your kind prayers.
The good Lord is graciously and richly blessing our journey too, as we reveal in Episode #15, titled: When Faith Is All You’ve Got!
We are so thankful that we are all part of the same community, thank you for reaching out.
God Bless
