We’re an American family with Antipodean connections running a beef farm in France. Our farm is in old Gascony in a sleepy departement called le Gers. There’s no autoroute out here, let alone a TGV line. What we do have is a lot of sun and some excellent soil, made from the limestone of an ancient sea. Occasionally it snows.
The farm is run using a mix of old school methods and new ideas. Sometimes the neighbors think we’re nuts and other times they reminisce that when they were kids their farm had cows just like ours.
We make beef for the flavor – grass-fed and grass-finished. We raise Salers, rustic, old-school mountain cows that love our rich Gascon pastures.

What a wonderful adventure you are on. We are building a strawbale house in Alberta and we are going for the little french farmhouse look. Not done yet. Looking forward to seeing more of your photos and projects! Cheers and good luck.
Hey John – nice to run into you here!
As somebody who’s considered doing what you’re doing, I’m keen to learn of your adventures.
Gosh, your comments make me realize how out of date my About page is!
John, I’ve been reading your site and I’m particularly interested in your advice on old tractors.
Kevin, if there’s anything you are interested in I’ll be happy to share what I know.
