First Lawn Mow

The first mowing of our new lawn will most likely be the last of the season. The weather man is warning us of snow flakes on Thursday. We will be left with the dilemma of determining where the lawn ends and the fields begin. I guess we'll have to make that call next spring when we start up the mower engine again.

Our Barn Doors are Open


The barn doors are permanently open right now. A delay in their order means the barn remains 'unfinished'. And, until they are here, and installed, the farm equipment remains in the ugly, green temporary barn. The barn is strategically located between the east and west fields for easy access to both, all the while sitting just off the main driveway. What you can't see in the picture is the great amount of space up in the barn loft. Lots of room for barn cats! ;O)

Falling into Place

It's been exactly two years since we bought this beautiful piece of land on Sherman Hollow Road. We are now mostly moved in and living here and calling Hinesburg and our new house 'home'. A few more blog posts and I should be able to wrap it up! Maybe I'll start a new blog devoted to the development of actually turning it into a working farm. Stay tuned for some final photos of land, house and barn, then a link to a new blog all about Sherman Hollow Organic Farm!

Settling In

It's been a little over a week now that we've been in our new home in Hinesburg, and the pile of boxes is going down. But there's still a long way to go. One thing's for sure, we've been sleeping well after a

hard day's work. This is the great spot we wake up in!
