HONEY BROOK, Pa.--Ever since Barry was a little boy he always worked on a farm, and his dream was to someday to own one.
When we drove down the driveway and saw how beautiful and private this farm was, we knew we had to have it.
It had the old farmhouse that we wanted, and it was built back in 1830 and was completely restored.
The auction was in November of 1987, and we purchased the farm.
The day we were to move the people were late moving out, so we stayed at our other home for the night.
The next morning someone told us that the barn was on fire. It was not the barn it was the house it was totally gone.
We built the new home in 1988 that is on the farm now.
We did not want a traditional farmhouse after losing the one we really wanted.
The new home stands on the same spot as the original farmhouse.
That was the best thing we ever did was move there.
It is so quiet and private and so beautiful here.
The farm is about 1,000 feet down from Field Stone Rd., which makes it very private.
You have open fields, wood lands and two ponds to do fishing in.
There is also plenty of deer and wild turkey that come on the property.
There is an old barn and other buildings used for other things.
There is 36 years of memories here of our daughter, son and five grandchildren growing up here and will always cherish these times.
I pray that the family who buys this farm has a lot of good memories with their family as we did living here.
