Now that Fall is upon us and Winter is closing in fast, the
work in he fields is finished for the most part. Hopefully we’ll have more time
to keep our blog up. The work is never done however. During this time of year
our focus shifts to the other side of our operation. That being the creation of
Handmade 19th Century Reproductions. We have been doing this for
many years now and it has become a significant means for helping to offset the
cost of running the farm. Operating what most consider a “charity type of farm”
doesn’t come cheap. This year a larger portion of the crops went to our local Senior Center
and of course some went to the local Harvest Project as usual.
The items we create are made from reclaimed and recycled
wood and lumber. The vast majority of which comes from old buildings, many of
which are close to 100 years old or even older. Our goal is to provide our
customers with a little piece of history at a price far less than actual
authentic antiques would cost them. Each item is unique and we seldom create an
identical copy of any one item.
We don’t sell the items online as such. We only sell through
Craigslist locally and by word of mouth from repeat customers. If any of our
readers would like to get a look at some of the items we have listed at any
time on Craigslist, all they have to do is use the “search feature” on
Craigslist and put in the “search term” ( 44441934 ). This will bring up a list
of all the current items we have listed. The list changes frequently as item
sell and new ones are added.
We’ve placed a few photos of just a few of the items below.
