Description
A vermont barn in the snow. Many times you'll see these farms along the side of the road with their blanket of snow making them look picturesque. In reality this is a true thought but it's also the down time for a farmer to relax until spring makes it's arrival with mud and planing and taking care of the land. Most of us who photograph and capture what we find beautiful don't really realize all the work that revolves around barns and their farms. No matter the style or condition, this building is one of the most important buildings that the farmer owns. Whether it holds farm equipment of livestock, the farmer relies on the building for his livelihood and his families. So when you next pass by a farm and ramshackle barns and the smell of the earth along with other Dairy-Aire smells, think about the families who give their lives to taking care of the land upon which our daily bread comes from. Without the farmer taking care of and tending the land we would be forever hungry.
