Farming in the Garden State!

#RockSolidHistory from Alstede Farms in Chester, NJ. Aside from the fun that this farm provides, from giant chairs, to hay rides, to a variety of pick-your-own produce (we came upon a blueberry bumper crop!), it also has an interesting bit of history.
​
There is an old and historical farmhouse there in need of restoration. It is not clear how or when that will happen, only that it is a big wish of the owners. It is situated next to the sunflower area.

The Alstedes recently purchased a nearby property and are spending a lot of time and money to restore that former farm (Larison’s Turkey Farm) into an agricultural lot and country store. So there is likely not a lot of time to plan the restoration of this old farm building.

However, this family is doing their part to preserve the farming history in this part of Morris County.
