We added a yard, a patio, a 550 square foot kitchen
and a stone lined concrete patio.
We gut renovated the old part of the house and also added stucco.
Below is the same south view of the house, now with a patio.

We have 84 acres, 2 streams, 2000 blueberry bushes and
we've planted several small fruit orchards. The farm is
organically managed and we are planning to get certified.
We have used organic cover crops and wild zones with
native perennial flowerbeds. We have a spring fed pond
which we also improved by removing railroad ties and using
boulders for the sides. We also have the mineral rights
and are on top of the Marcellus Shale formation.
We have also sided and renovated the barn, workshop/garage,
and six bay garage. We've added a small greenhouse.
The farm is still a work in progress.
Pond - we added wildflower gardens
and stone sides to the clay bottom spring fed pond.
