The Lost Barn
The 2010/2011 winter season was a cold one. With significant snowfall and a lack of warm days for the snow to start melting and slide off roofs, over 300 barns reportedly fell that winter due to the weight of the snow build-up. One of the barns that was lost was ours. As this also happened to be the winter before our first season of for-market farming, we used this event as the inspiration for our farm name.
The turn-of-the-century post and beam barn was originally built for drying tobacco. Reed’s father used it for hay storage. Reed and Kathy’s children used it as a playground. The barn lives on in our memory and in the beams and barn boards that we were able to salvage and re-use in the rebuilding of the barn (still in progress).
