Welcome to our website and blog. We’re Ethan and Natasha and we have moved to the country for a more simple life after years in research and education at a University in Portland, Oregon.
We bought an old house built in the 1940’s on just under 3 acres in the Columbia Gorge with vineyards all around us. Our goal is to plant some wine grapes and turn the land into a small vineyard. Of course with only 2 acres of vines at most it will never be a big operation. But it will be fun and enjoyable.
The house will need to be torn down at some point – there are just too many things that need fixing and cannot be fixed. But we have been working to make it comfortable for the coming winter. I see a barn house in our future.
The land just like the existing house has not been taken care of so our work is cut out for us.
We hope you enjoy reading our blog and following along as we move forward (of fall back) on our dreams. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at [email protected].
