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 1780s 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. We invite you to join us in our effort to RESTORE GREEN.

The Deep Freeze

As it turns out... Winter is not so welcome!

It has been a challenging week here at the farm, though I must say we've been incredibly fortunate that that the house, property, crew and animals have endured as well as they have... no major disasters.

We've managed to stay pretty cozy with our new woodburning stove and with more masonry, windows and doors sured up every week.











Speaking of... we've got some nice before and after images of our 19th Century doors which recently had 100+ years of paint carefully stripped away.
