"SCIO - Ian Caldicott and Raven O'Keefe are doing something most
small-business owners would think impossible in today's modern,
technology-driven world.

The husband and wife are making their living off their farm.

As relatively new farmers - the pair started their farm, Wolston Farms,
(www.wolston.com )
about 2 ½ years ago - Caldicott and O'Keefe represent a growing breed of
agricultural small-business owners in Oregon.

What makes Caldicott and O'Keefe illustrative of Oregon's new farmers is the
small scale on which they are finding success. Wolston Farms encompasses
only 55 acres.

With the average Oregon farm being more than 400 acres, the pair have to
sell just about anything and everything associated with the farm to be
profitable."
