Two years ago in March, they found the answer to their prayers –<br />
a twenty-acre farm near Canton. It was considerably larger than Dana’s<br />
dream, but Sean assured her that it was doable. The optimum home,<br />
wide open skies, bordering forest, plus a pond the kids adopted as their<br />
swimming retreat, were all wonderful additions to their new piece of<br />
freedom.<br />
What would be the name? Twelve2 Farm targeted Dana’s favorite<br />
Bible verse – Hebrews 12:2 – “Do not be conformed to this world, but<br />
be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove<br />
what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”<br />
“We want Christ to be central in all our decisions,” Dana explained.<br />
Their family has found Twelve2 Farm to be the perfect environment and<br />
atmosphere for the renewal and transforming of their minds and bodies.<br />
Deiliana presented the idea of growing flowers and inviting flower<br />
lovers to visit their farm and experience their new freedom. The sales of<br />
flowers, along with organically raised eggs, could also be a supplement<br />
to their family’s income.<br />
The flower beds are planted and growing. Sean has tilled the soil<br />
and the rest of the family has planted the flower seeds and continue<br />
the weeding. These flowers never taste chemicals and sprays.<br />
Twelve2 Farm will open for customers on June 23rd, and tickets<br />
are already on sale via their website. Visitors will be given picking<br />
instructions by Dana who has been studying flowers for the past two<br />
years, earning the title of Certified Flower Grower in September.<br />
Visiting Twelve2 Farm is a farm-flower-lover’s treat. Sean, who is<br />
employed as a softwear developer for American Healthtech may not<br />
be there, but Dana and her young farmers will impress you with their<br />
expertise in academics–and good manners. Saier can show you his<br />
favorite black and white hen. Galea, the eight-year-old, enjoys baking<br />
and can discuss recipes. Thaven and Leonie will probably introduce<br />
you to their cats, and Deiliana will show you their one of a kind shelter<br />
for their goats, a “goat-tel!”<br />
Directions and information are on their website. If you would enjoy<br />
picking your own bouquets while getting an up-close experience with<br />
farm life, make your reservations soon. It will be a space, animal, and<br />
flower-lovers happening.<br />
