Spring on the farm always feels like a season of renewal. There’s planting to do, baby animals arriving, and plenty of projects as we get ready for a busy summer and fall season at Patterson Fruit Farm.
Our Party Room is getting a little facelift with new siding, and with projects like this often comes an unexpected gift, little pieces of history. Back in the 90s, vinyl siding was added to help preserve the building, but in the process some of the original character was covered up. As the old siding came off, this beautiful hand-painted sign was revealed once again.
One of my favorite parts of uncovering things like this is the stories that come with it. The farm has been passed from the first generation to the seventh generation, and every old building, sign, and hidden detail seems to unlock memories and family stories that might not otherwise be told.
It’s a reminder that while farms evolve and modernize, the history underneath is still there, waiting to be rediscovered. And sometimes, it’s pretty beautiful.
