Love is RED ❤️
Once upon a time, the landscapes of the United States were decorated with barns. Yet they were never about fashion, but rather a vital necessity to the community. If the walls of these barns could talk, they would have endless stories to tell about the immigrants who built them.
Sadly, every year more and more of them become casualties of urban sprawl and the rapidly increasing loss of what was once the cornerstone of every community: the family farm.
Our old dairy barn turned 125 years old this year, and we were so blessed and honored to be able to give it a chance at 125 more. It was in decent shape when we bought this farm 13 years ago, but time and weather had left their mark, and it was desperately in need of some straightening work, roof repairs, and siding.
Now looking back at the “before”, we were completely blown away by the “after”. A million thank you’s to the amazing individuals listed below for turning this dream into a reality.
