The barn at Turtleback Farm

Farmer Jen tells us about the historic barn

 Each stall has a window

 The other end of the barn

 Another old structure, this one falling down and not in use

Gully that leads down to the Nissequogue River, which used to be the way farm produce was shipped out before the railroad came.You can see yellow kayaks on the river before the leaves come out.

 I do like these chickens (Jen's Hens).

Not only do they provide eggs, meat, and beauty,

but they improve the pasture where they stay

and are moved around the farm methodically

Planting vegetables in strips will save a lot of weeding.
The rows were covered with straw all winter.

There were no pigs on the farm that day 

but here are some dining last September.
