From the Farm: The View

34
The view from here in Kentucky.


The sign marking the driveway into this section of the farm.



The rolling hills and hay bales and pretty brick houses that make everyone long for country life. This is a neighbor's property.



The classic farmhouse that the old owners let get so run down it is beyond repair. Every structural element is rotting. The backyard is full of broken bathtubs. Other rooms are full of doorknobs, miscellaneous odds and ends, and literal trash. What a shame.



The beautiful big hunting dogs that protect the chickens.



Free range chicken coops. They move the coops down the hill one square per day to give the chickens fresh grazing and to prevent disease from walking in their own accumulating feces. These are organic meat chickens. Egg-laying chickens are a different breed, and kept in a separate area of the farm.


Me and Jax backpacking it.
