The New Barn.....

There is no barn here yet, but, on the ideal realm, it is being built. Even Plato said you must create the idea first, and then the form will follow. So, the plans are drawn, the permit has been had, and the site work began before the rains did. There is more leveling to do, but that will have to wait until mother nature is ready......and dry! It will be fairly tall, with a loft and an overhang on the front of the building, so when the tractor drives in the sliding door, the door can remain open and the rains won't blast us. The concept is that the foundation will go in this summer and the actual building will happen in the summer of 2012. It will have a metal roof, possibly green or blue, and lots of redwood on the front entrance. I would like to have plenty of room for storage of tools and tractor attachments; like a box scraper, and who knows what else will manifest that needs dry storage? If I were Bill Gates I could have it done in a week, but the best things do take a long time. What's the rush? We'll keep ya posted!

  1. Whoa exciting stuff, bro! So is this to the right of the orchard as you stand on your road? and I like what Plato said! I find that to be so very true! Between you and Mark and Matthew and Casey, you are making me want to do more up there too! xxxooo

  2. Gotta say, this is the "land of opportunity"! It is a magical place, and after 35 years of family ownership, I think we can say the foundation has been laid. We're ready to burst out and take advantage of the farming talents and resources that are present. Go "Fellowship Farms!"
