Photos from the farm




Here are some "before" photos of the old homeplace we plan to restore. This is the house in which my father was born. He lived here until he was about 7 years old. The house was built c.1923, by my grandfather's oldest brother. Along with the house, there is a barn and a big shop. Plans are to restore all of them to working condition and use them in our agritourism business.
The eggs are a comparison of chicken, duck and goose eggs. The goose egg is in the center and is approximately twice as large as a brown chicken egg. The duck egg is the white egg in the lower right.
The peas were some we planted in late August as somewhat of a cover crop to improve nitrogen levels in soil. However, they made quite a good crop, which we have enjoyed through the winter.
