Bastion Mountain Ranch


Tales and Reflections by Caroline Miege

My family lived on a Ranch full time from 1993 until 2015. We were a 5th generation family farm.

I am writing this blog to share my experiences living there. It is best to read the blog chronologically by going through the archives, starting with the introduction in January of 2010. The blog starts with the arrival of my great-grandparents to the farm in 1946 and will follow the families to the present.

Dandelion Wine

Edmond Miege was a fortunate man to have found his lovely bride while living on such an isolated farm.  Neighbors at the time were good match makers and they were not together long before the marriage took place on September 1, 1962.
The reception became famous due to the Dandelion wine that Gus and Renee made for the event.  We do have dandelions in abundance on the ranch and they were put to good use that year, creating a champagne like drink that very quickly went to people's heads.

A very beautiful couple
