Barn of the Month – Evergreen Farms

My parents built a boarding facility in 1999, Evergreen Farms. We like to think of it as a little piece of heaven. My dad drew up the idea on the back of a placemat at a restaurant. They hired a builder who ended up falling through on the work. My dad and some of the employees of his excavating company ended up finishing the barn and adding the best touches. The small ideas and finishing touches mean more knowing that your dad and brothers had that idea and used their hard working hands to build this little piece of heaven!!

Barn of the Month – Four Winds Farm

“What can you say about a barn that is more like a home to boarders than just a place to shelter a horse? If you were to pose such a question to me, I would happily tell you all about a wonderful Hunter/Jumper barn, Four Winds Farm, in North Oxford, MA. When I arrived for a tour of Four Winds, it was evident that this was a top-notch facility, the horses were fit and happy, the barn and stalls were clean, the people were friendly to me and with one another and the amenities were plentiful!”
