Two Worlds Of Bedlam Farm

The first Bedlam Farm was one beautiful and self-contained world, close to a small town yet apart from it, with its rolling hills, beautiful old barns and wonderful porches and views. The new Bedlam Farm is different, it is really in the middle of two worlds, and this view, from a neighbor’s pasture just to the South, captures this duality. To the front, a state road, busy much of the time, to the north, small houses and farms, to the South and the rear, big open spaces, woods and pastures. Behind the farmhouse, 17 quiet and beautiful acres of woods. A few miles down the road, a wonderful town with a bookstore, food Co-Op, arts center, restaurant and hardware store. We live on the edge of two worlds, and we are richer for it. Not as pastoral as the Mother Ship, nor, perhaps as beautiful. But the right place for us at the right time.

We are happy here. We wish for Bedlam Farm to find it’s lover, and we know it will. In the meantime, we live happily on the edge of these two worlds, a front and a back.
