About Summers Acres

Long driveways and Beautiful Pasture

We are a husband and wife duo with 5 adult kids and 2 grandchildren.  Our simple living journey began at our 1700 square feet home with just over 1 acre of land.  God has blessed us greatly and we were able to move back to Ann’s hometown where we have plenty of space for animals, orchard, berries, and garden.

Jon and Ann are both IT professionals that are grateful for the ability to now work remotely from home.

Joyful Simple Living

We both grew up in the country around gardening and simple living, but we haven’t done much of it ourselves until the last 13 years.  Over the years God has compelled us to cultivate a simpler, less busy, and more joyful life.  That is a process that takes time with one new learned skill or one simplification or change at a time. We love our chickens and goats and the benefits they provide us for a healthier more natural diet. We enjoy gardening to raise our own food, but also appreciate the therapeutic qualities of getting our hands in the dirt. Jon and I are not masters at any of this, but have learned a lot in our journey. We have learned some useful skills and are becoming more self Christ sufficient each day. There is always a new adventure with something new to learn. At times it has been quite comical.

Thanks for visiting,
Jon and Ann
