This is, of course, only a picture of our barn. As it says, this little patch of land was settled and established in 1887. I have been here for only 3 years and my husband has lived here for going on 8 but before then, grew up running the barnyard when his grandparents owned and farmed here.
We have just shy of 3 acres of yard, and the farmland is cash rented to another (bigger) farm down the road. We also have access to the "back 40" which is another 40 acres on which my father in law has some wild "protected" land that he tends during the year.
I recently added a 3500sq ft garden behind the barn, and am in the process of creating raised beds behind our garage for more easily accessible veggies. I'm planning on mostly salad ingredients, like lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers.
