It is with great sadness that we share this news with you.

Jim and I fell in love with this little slice of Madison two years ago this month. As life and luck would have it, we spent an evening at the Farmhouse Inn while investigating an adjacent weekend property. This place had us by sunset with a flurry of hummingbird moths and a glowing orange sky just above the pasture. From the parading chickens, ducks and peacocks to the crawfish prancing along the path to the river to the amazing wildlife. Birding for days here. Peaceful kayaking. Trails to wander…. We were the only guests on that very hot Sunday and so we had breakfast with the Inn and Farm’s creator, Ellis Johnson and with his wife and Innkeeper, Crystal Johnson. We’ve gone from guests to friends to now the new owners of their life’s passion. We wish them well in their retirement and feel privileged to be passed the torch so to speak.

We have a few projects in the works but hope that you will all come and visit us again soon!

Thanks Pamela Sherman
