This page documents the revival of a multi-generation family farm in the Eastern Townships of Québec.

Not every day on an old farm is a victory. Sometimes it’s a reality check.

I always want to be transparent about this project, because bringing an old farm back to life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows.

After putting this year’s hay crop into the barn, I noticed something that immediately caught my attention. Part of the hay mow floor had developed a noticeable sag. It wasn’t something I was willing to ignore.

After taking a closer look, we determined that the floor joists beneath the gambrel break have been weakened by decades of water damage from a roof that has leaked for as long as anyone in my family can remember.

For now, we installed temporary jack posts to safely support the affected area while the hay is stored this season. It made an immediate difference and gives me some peace of mind, but it’s also clear that the permanent solution will be replacing about twelve compromised floor joists.

It’s a big job.

But that’s what restoring an 80-year-old barn is all about. Every repair teaches me more about the building, and every problem solved means this barn has a better chance of serving another generation.

I’m not giving up on it.

This barn has been part of my family’s story since 1944, and now it’s my turn to take care of it.

Here are the photos showing the floor before the temporary supports went in, and after.

Keep the lights on.

It’s a beautiful day to be a pig. 🐖🌿

Nothing beats watching pigs be pigs. Grazing, rooting, wallowing, and relaxing under the trees or a semi trailer.

Days like this make all the hard work worth it. ❤️🌱

🌾 First cut is officially in the barn! 🚜

What a season. We fought breakdowns, repairs, plugged equipment, missed knots, and a race against the weather—but we got it done.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to help. Whether you loaded, stacked, hauled, fixed equipment, or just showed up when we needed an extra hand, I truly appreciate it.

Best of all, this season proved something: the farm still has the yield. The fields are producing, the barn is filling again, and the revival continues.

Here’s to an even better second cut! 💪🌾🚜

Haven’t posted much lately because I’ve been too busy working.

This picture was taken tonight at 7:45 PM.

Sometimes it’s worth stopping for a minute and looking back.

30 years.

That’s how long it’s been since animals grazed this land.

Fence is finished.
Posts in, wire up and pigs on pasture.

What was once buried in brush is alive again.

Rebuilding the old fence lines my grandfather put in—
and bringing this place back, one step at a time.

Just the beginning. 💪🌱

Some days just mean more.

Today we were out in the hay fields picking up driftwood, cleaning things up piece by piece.

The best part? My kids got to drive the same tractor I learned on with my grandfather.

I still remember him putting it in gear and telling me,“Just steer it where we’re going.”

So that’s exactly what I did.

Watching them behind that wheel, on that same land… it felt like everything came full circle.

Same tractor. Same fields. Next generation.

This is what revival looks like.

Keep the lights on.

There it is! Page wire is back, and laid out some posts down to the hay field for the next round! What a day 😎

Back at it again today, got almost everything cleared and ready for a new fence. Just a couple more hours and the pasture and field edge will be clear! The land still holds its cattle fence from the mid 90s. Crazy to think it was once a pasture, and now it an alder infested mess. Next weekend, posts are being driven in! Stay tuned 😎

Back at it, pulling up page wire! Got the whole section back up and out of the weeds. Just a small section is deemed to be unusable. Big win for the farm. Little back story here: this page wire was laid by my grandfather in 1994 when he separated the section where our family garage now operates. Good thing it’s galvanized! Went and check other sections by the hay fields, that section needs some serious attention. One section at a time 💪

Big day on the farm.

That old differential that sat between the chicken coop and the barn bridge my entire life… gone.

No exaggeration — it’s probably been there since before I was born.
Today I dragged it out with the tractor, hauled it to the scrapyard, and cleared it for good.

Took a full load up — scrap from the barn and garage — even had to throw chains on the Dodge just to make the climb.

Step one: decades of junk, gone.

Step two: started reclaiming the old fence line my grandfather put in when he split the land for the garage.
Pulled the page wire out and started bringing that line back to life.

You can still see the old posts if you look close.

Bit by bit, this place is coming back.
