Colonial Farm, USA

Not so much a ‘Derelict Place’ but Piscataway Farm is an interesting ‘living history museum’. The farm is worked for the whole of the year, the livestock being of early Colonial breeds and all crops are grown from heirloom seed. The farm practices the sustainable use of natural resources and all the produce is distributed and sold locally through a cooperative group.

What a simple solution to fence making! I was going to ask you why it was so zig-zagged until I saw your second pic.
I love that kitchen/living area. Interesting stuff, matsorjc.

Hi Foxy,
Many of the fences surrounding historical sites over here are laid out like this and here's another style

They take up a lot of space, not to mention the amount of wood, but sections can be taken down easily to get livestock moved. Later on hedges and regular post and wire took over like we have in the UK.

Thanks for posting the other photo, matsorjc. I've always been interested in rural crafts, especially hedging and fencing. That's great...easy enough to repair too, I should think. Cheers
