The Beginning...

Villa Mir Farm is a 70+ acre farm in northeastern Ohio. It was acquired by my parents in 1950, and has been the venue for many happy occasions, celebrations and great parties! Both Paul and Caroline have now passed away. In fact, they are buried next to one another in the cemetary that is adjacent to the property - when my father picked out the plot, he told us he picked on a little hill where he could keep an eye on things at the farm after he was gone!! Caroline lived there into her 90's, and it was her wish to see the land preserved and not sold to developers. My brother and I are working to make her wish a reality. It is our hope to restore the farm to some form of agriculture, and to keep it a place where our friends and their friends can gather and celebrate life.
