Had a nice visit with farmer who had worked this farm for 50 years following his father and grandfather. He gave me a tour of the barn with a lot of fascinating details: it isn't really round: it has 10 sides which means that each of the joints meets at a 36 degree angle. when it was re roofed some years ago, none of those joints had opened a crack at the top: perfect workmanship in places that no one would look for many years.

It is a pleasure to know that the farm will continue in agriculture due to the Vermont Land Trust having bought it to pass on to a young farmer at a price stripped of development rights.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame.
