I decided to document thanksgiving day with my family at Haystack Farm. Spending thanksgiving day there is a tradition we try to uphold as a family.

Haystack Farm

In the late eighties, my grandparents purchased an abandoned farmhouse. Their intention was to have a vacation home a short drive away. The house is hidden from street view perched on the top of a hillside.

The view looking down the driveway. To the left of the drive way you can see a neighboring cow pasture where cows are sometimes seen grazing.

The house was built in 1885 by Christopher Bunker, the eldest son of Siamese Twins, Eng and Chang. It is rumored that they are buried in the front yard instead of their marked grave in Mount Airy.

An image of the barn at sunset. Live stock once occupied the lower level of the barn, but now it is just a piece of history.

A bonfire before dusk.

The entryway into the main room and kitchen of the house.

The calm before the storm.

Candles are lit bringing warmth and light to the table.
