HAPPY HOLLOW FARM 



SUPPOSE you had wanted some big thing 

 with all your heart for all your life; and sup- 

 pose you knew that your wife had always 

 wanted just the same thing in just the same 

 way. Suppose that in the fullness of time, 

 when you were in the very prime of your years, 

 with the joy of life at its strongest, this fond 

 dream should become reality ; and suppose that 

 after half a dozen years of actual experience 

 you should find the reality better beyond com- 

 pare than the dream ever dared be. Suppose 

 all this, and how do you suppose you'd feel? 



Well, that's the story of Happy Hollow 

 Farm. 



Maybe I'd better say right at the beginning, 

 and have it over with, that ours is different 

 from the general run of back-to-the-land
