Yes Kathleen, the farm we live on was the front part of a large dairy farm. The big farm house and the silo are now another part of the subdivision, plus there is a nice size development of big houses with large lots where the old hay fields used to be. The barns are down of course. I lived here in the one big house back in the 1980s before I bought my own farm up the road. The original farm house burned down prior to that. We tried to maintain the newer barns (they are over 50 years old) for our vehicles, and there is another long polelike barn at the rear of the big barn. It was a lovely farm when the cows were here. Now is is subdivided of course. We are located on the corner of the property which makes it great for the Tree business at Christmas.
We have New York City people who come to buy trees each year. They love to cut their own. We are also very close to the Joint Base of McGuire, Ft. Dix and Lakehurst. We give Military people the best deals also. I love the silo, my bird room looks out to it. The big planes use it for a marker when they land at the base. I want to paint it red, white and blue and put a flag on it but no one will go up to the top anymore. The young bucks no longer have the nerve they one time had. So it remains in disrepair. So sad. The inside has some lovely fern growing in it.
Other than that many call it an eyesore.
