When David and Karen Dumars survey the peaceful landscape of their 50-acre property a few miles northwest of Woodland, not too far from the banks of Cache Creek, there’s a sense of contentment in their eyes. At this stage in their lives, they are grateful to be able to live each day by giving back to the land, their parish and their community.
The longtime members of Holy Rosary Parish have owned their property since 2002. They live in the house they designed and had built in 2010, surrounded by a beautiful garden and many acres of almond trees. Looking north from their back patio is a 300-year-old oak tree, so magnificent that they situated their house around it.
