Echo Of The Past Farm

Farm

Echo of the Past Farm is a log farmstead, dedicated to the production,distribution and preservation of organic farm products..workshops available Echo Farm is a charming, inviting, log farmstead, which has been stripped down and restored to some of it’s former beauty. Apart from the farmhouse which now has a small greenhouse added to the south end, there is a summer kitchen, which houses an entire wool museum with various eras of carding tools, spinning wheels and a loom.

Here you will find a small selection of jams, pickles and herbs from the garden and produced at the farm (in season). Around the corner from there is the potting shed, where seedlings or locally produced seeds are available at the beginning of the gardening season. In addition to the buildings that were always in existence, there is a beautiful stage/fairground area that has been used primarily for community fund raising as well as weddings, birthday parties and other community events. It is located in a hay field, away from the original farmstead. What started out as an inexpensive way of raising the family, became, over the years, a passionate obsession. In the early years, I was totally awestruck by the stone fences, log buildings, cleared fields and indomitable spirit of the people who were here before me. Riding on the residual energy of the pioneers, with a feeling of kinship, I couldn`t allow all of their back breaking work to collapse, as it was doing. This began the life time odyssey of saving it all as best I could. What an amazing journey for a city girl, to learn many renovation skills, including demolition, reconstruction, insulating and chinking between the logs. On top of this there was also milking, butter and cheese making, maple syruping, animal husbandry and last but not least, gardening. I delight in sharing the tips, skills and downfalls of these many areas of accomplishment. Arriving here in the early seventies as part of the back to the land movement, I`m fairly sure we weren`t even aware there was a movement. It acquired that name somewhere along the line. I believe we were looking for a cleaner and safer place to raise our children. Seriously, I didn`t have a clue whatsoever about gardening, animal husbandry or carpentry. Previous Update description
