CF - Self + BillBill and I were recently interviewed by Arlene Thayer – Spin Artiste! Enjoy a peak of life on Calluna Farm.
“This week we are featuring Candy Hargett and Bill Kimsey of Calluna Farm Studios, unapologetic “Boomers” who are actively creating the type of life for which many of us yearn. So, in a sense, this post feels like a bit of a “how to” which I think you will enjoy!“

After many years of research – Bill was able to complete the DAR requirements so the Kimsey legacy could be handed down through the generations.
Proud of you!

Since 1976 I have been working on establishing a document trail of the progenitor of our family in America and the project is now officially finished . . . the Daughters of the American Revolution say we are bonifide descendants of an American Patriot who help kick the stuffing out of King George and his redcoats . . . I think it is called blowback for what George and the boys did to the clans at Culloden in 1746 . . .

Welcome to DAR It's Official!
