ifarm, originally known as Towne Farm, is 19 acres and dates back to 1777.
From 2009 to 2020 our team worked with architect Benjamin Nutter and Preservation Timber Framing to restore the existing barn, farmhouse, and carriage house to their original glory.
Building systems were updated to take advantage of modern day innovations.
Restored Barn
A newly constructed covered side entry on the restored barn demonstrates how well the new work blends in with the old, especially the stone work.
Restored Barn with Galvalume Metal Roof, typical to all the restored buildings
The original barn was a hand hewn English frame. The frame was restored by Preservation Timber Framing.
The farmhouse was constructed in 1790. It is a fine example of Federal-era construction, Extensive renovation and repair returned the house to its mid-19th century glory
The carriage house is located between the barn and farmhouse. Originally, it stored grain in addition to carriages
A new additional "ibarn" was built in 2018 to store farm implements and equipment
The ibarn hand-cut timber frame was made from trees that were felled on the property.
