Farmhouse Revival

The American farmhouse represents integrity ingenuity self-reliance and agricultural heritage. Today the farmhouse is a rare survivor from another era that can be found sensitively reinterpreted by artists carefully preserved by original owners or functionally maintained by farm-to-table artisanal food producers. In more than 200 stunning images Steve Gross and Sue Daley have painstakingly photographed 20 of the most beautifully preserved farmhouses in the northeast. Some are working farmhouses that have been passed down in families for generations; some have been made productive again by a whole new generation of organic farmers. Still others have been rescued from neglect and restored to their former splendor. Each house is accompanied by an overview of the farmhouse owner and how he or she maintains the property. Fans of the farm-to-table movement as well as historic architecture and preservation will find this an intriguing and beautiful read.
