Howard Hall Farm is both an historic restoration project and a vehicle for educating people in sustainable, environmentally conscious restoration techniques. The site of our learning laboratory is a 1780's stone manor in the heart of the Hudson River Valley. This Federal-style home presents a number of restoration challenges specific to this region of the country and is an ideal platform for a grass-roots look at how to ease a deteriorating home into the future as a modern, functioning dwelling with minimal impact to the house and the environment.  As preservation architect Carl Elefante says, "The greenest building is the one you don't build."   In our restoration we are focused on dovetailing an acute attention to historic detail with the newest green technology, which will allow historic homes to go into the future as modern, functioning dwellings with minimal impact to the house and the environment. 

Our mission is to investigate, restore, and revive every facet of this structure in a green manner, and provide a forum for other interested homeowners and craftspeople to learn to do the same.  In an effort to educate ourselves, we bring in preservation and restoration experts from all over the country to train us and everyone who attends our workshops in green techniques to preserve and revive our homes while minimizing their impact on the environment.  With the help of these incredible individuals, we can all learn to bring an old home out of the cobwebs and into the green.  Welcome to Howard Hall Farm, our lives, and the cast of characters.  Join us in our effort to RESTORE GREEN.
