It was fun, showing the farm to clients of my friend from the city. Mostly, they wanted to buy a farm in Bedford County as a center for the family to gather away from the city. They wanted to talk to us about the business part of owning a working farm.
The did not want to buy a country property where only rich people own farms, so they eliminated Virginia and Maryland Eastern Shore. And they wanted to be about two hours from the city. We first purchased here in Mann Township in Bedford County because of the low taxes and the low price and I bet they were thinking of that too. Our arrangement with the Jays works very well but it a system requiring a lot of faith on both sides. Nothing is written down but they farm the place and we enjoy it and exchange small amounts of money. Spelling it all out is not easy but it was fun sorting it out. Our system is a bit complicated but it works.
Ken took the son for a tour of the whole farm, and they inspected both houses. They were most interested in the Jay's management of the farm. It will be interesting if they ask us to sell our farm to them? Goodness.
