Hi, I'm Troy and you've found my Web Space.

Captain T. Bogdan and Wife Sharon, reunited again after the restoration of the Republic on the Fourth of May, 1865.

Photos taken at the John Brown Farm, Village of New Richmond, Crawford County Pennsylvania.

My main occupation is being a Father. Organic Farming is my livelihood.

Troy & Daughter Indiana (Photo taken several years ago).

My Wife and Daughter and I run an 85 acre farm in N.W. Pennsylvania in the Lake Erie Region (Village of New Richmond near Cambridge Springs for all you locals) that primarily produces garlic as our main sales crop. We also grow a small amount of vegetables, herbs, ornamentals, trees and also do some wild-crafting in our 60 acre forest, which we manage as a nature preserve, and for agroforestry products. We love our land! We are also starting to renovate our 1880's farm house, and are rebuilding a timber frame barn on the property to match the original barn that was destroyed by a tornado before we were born.

I also occasionally find myself employed for others and I have worked in the daily grind for many a miserable day doing computer work, retail sales, truck driving, and even farm work for others.

I also do some free-lance work once in a while doing Organic Inspecting (I'm an IOIA trained organic inspector), Consulting, Web Design and other artistic jobs.
