PINK ELEPHANT FARM

And this is what we inherited: five acres of cultivated land, two ponds, about 20 acres of rolling pasture, three charming barns now dated and in need of repair, a few springs threatening to go dry, and multiple unconnected sections of fence. We inherited a long history and good soil that has been neglected. This land has imposed on us a responsibility, not only to its history, but also its fertility, and as we go about our daily work of milking the cows, feeding the chickens, tending the gardens, or trying to chase off the muskrats, we are trying to respond to the needs of this place. Our goal is to leave this soil richer than we found it; it is to understand this history and to reconcile it when and where we can. In short, it is to care for this piece of land... Ours is a historic farm, yes, with one of those amazing historic farm houses, but also the heavy weight of pain that is early American land "settlement" and the South since the 1800s. We discover arrowheads and civil war..
