This series of photographs document the remains of a period of time when the small farmer was the mainstay of our agricultural economy. The owners of these farms thrived in the harsh elements of cold winters and hot summers. Throughout this project, you will modest, small family farm houses all the way to upscale brick houses, along with the barns/windmills that supported their activities.
