Hi, my name is Wendy. My husband Doug and I live on an old dairy farm just outside of town. We have 5 children. Four of them are in college. The fifth is in 8th grade.

Doug grew up across the road from Prairie Vale and has memories of the days when it was a big dairy farm and the cattle roamed far more than the 14 acres we have now.

If you want to wake up sipping your coffee to a gorgeous, quiet sunrise & end the day with an amazingly serene sunset over the lake, that reminds you of the simple beauty in the world, then look no farther!
