What was the Broken Barn?

The Broken Barn was part of a farm that has stood on a quiet rural corner of upstate New York since 1860. The barn was big. In the summer of 2010, the Broken Barn was carefully removed by a team of experts. It will be reconstructed far from here as a house. All of the materials in the barn, including the nails, were reclaimed and recycled. Most will be included in the new structure. We got to keep 150 years of manure and decomposing hay. This will soon be incorporated into the Broken Barn Flower Farm.
