Branch Farm at the Woodyard

Branch Farm is located at our house and also around the corner from our house. Our home sits on 4 acres. This is where we grow the majority of our vegetables for ourselves and our CSA. We also have 46 acres that is not directly connected to our house but is within sight. (we are working on fixing that, meaning we are saving the money to purchase land so that everything we own touches each other). The land down from the house used to be called the "woodyard" this is where the railroad ran and stopped to load rail car and such. Since my husband has owned it he has always referred to it as the woodyard, this gets confusing for people who don't know what is once was. I am one for simplicity so I have always referred to it as the barn... Well since we have a barn there that's what I thought it should be called. However, since starting Branch farm in our hearts and minds we decided that a name must be agreed upon.... So Branch Farm at the Woodyard it is!  :)

Here are some recent pictures of the Farm and what we have been working on. What you see above is cleared areas for new fences to go. It took all last week to get the trees down and land graded out. Farmer D did a great job getting the land ready for some fall crops and new fences. After we plant some clover on this dirt then we are planning to add some sheep to our family. I am super excited about what going on around here. You need to come out for a visit to get the real feel of what's going on, it is Wonderful!
