This barn is very near where Pleasant Ridge Road intersects with Meadowview Drive. It represents Greensboro and its environs from years gone by. At one time, the county was full of barns for animals, tobacco barns, and other outbuildings that were necessary to keep a farm thriving. Slowly, the parcels of land with these buildings are being sold off for subdivisions. However, another movement is taking hold in recent years in which young people buy land to farm.
The above barn may actually be part of Summerfield Farms which is a working, thriving, 600 acre farm with the main building just across the road from this barn. The above barn is a lot more humble than "THE" barn at Summerfield farms; however, the above structure holds quite a link to the past. If you want to read more about Summerfield Farms, read their story, HERE. If we happen to see the owner of Summerfield Farms, David Couch, we'll ask him about his building. In the meantime, we hope you will notice it, next time you drive by. Happy Wednesday!
It looks well worn.
