New: “Farmstead”

Several years ago I visited this farm in Chester, Vermont. The property was maintained by a handyman from Finland who gave me a tour through the immense barn, and who was in charge of keeping the place in good shape for the seasonal owners. The amount of work required to keep time from reclaiming this old structure was, as he explained, enormous. For him and the owners, I sensed it was more a labor of love than it was an effort based on necessity, as this was lived in only a few months out of the year. “Farmstead” 40 x 24
