Recycling a 100+ Year-old Dairy Farm into a Sustainable Horse Farm

This old dairy farm has been “recycled” into a sustainable horse property with solar and geothermal applications.

The old farm house was completely weatherized and modernized with extensive use of reclaimed materials.     

Terraces, rock walls and stone patios have been added with care to preserve stately oaks, lilacs, many old varieties of perennial flowers and apple trees.

Barns have been restored to create a modern horse facility that includes a natural-draft ventilation system.  A structure built from reclaimed materials composts all the manure.  A sedimentation and erosion control system collects and treat all corral run-off.
