picked up a horseshoe on the road,
and nailed it fast to his barn door,
that luck might down upon him pour;
that every blessing known in life
might crown his homestead and his wife,
and never any kind of harm
descend upon his growing farm.

James Thomas Fields 1817-1881
A farmer travelling with his load
picked up a horseshoe on the road,
and nailed it fast to his barn door,
that luck might down upon him pour;
that every blessing known in life
might crown his homestead and his wife,
and never any kind of harm
descend upon his growing farm.

Welcome to the farm!
Five Point Farm is what my wife Tracey and i call our 8 acres of paradise in south western NY. I have decided to start this blog to keep records some of our projects and hobbies. Although not a "real" farm now, we believe it was originally a dairy farm dating back to the 1850's. The foundation to a much larger barn can be seen around our smaller barn and we are surrounded by fields we think all were part of this original farm. Now it is home to our two Haflinger horses, one Toggenburg Goat, five chickens, two rabbits, four cats and two dogs. In the future I will be posting about some of our projects as well as some of my wife's pictures of our "spread".
