First harvest...

This is our first harvest of the farm - 10 or so organic pumpkins and about 50 egg gourds (not pictured). The egg gourds are a big decorator item, and we have already sold many of them. We were not ready for a garden, starting so late in the year, but we wanted some pumpkins.

Our Milk Barn...

This is a picture of our milk barn. It is quite a large barn as well. See the top of the barn? There is a basketball goal up there, where people played round-ball, amongst many bales of hay. Nice green clover hay, too. We grow hay here, about nine acres.

This picture was also taken in the very early Spring, before the grass grew back.

Our Tobacco Barn...

This is a picture of our tobacco barn. We needed a lot of storage, and this barn is huge. It has a dirt floor, but it is firmly packed. I won't be raising tobacco. One of my neighbors wanted to lease some space to dry tobacco, but I refused his offer. It is difficult to understand how tall this barn is from this picture, but it is quite tall, and quite wide. This picture was taken in the early Spring, and the grass was not in yet. I have also since replaced the missing planks from the side. The stripping room in the foreground of the picture is as big as a small efficiency apartment.

Bedlam's End Beginnings...

We bought this Civil War-era farm at auction in April 2007. We have been looking for a place like this for ten or more years. It has a couple of barns, a nice pond and a farmhouse. The previous owner raised horses and cows there, but I won't be doing that, because I am a vegetarian. I intend to raise vegetables instead of cows.
