This is a news feed for things I find which have some interest or relevance to barns, rural history, and agriculture in Ontario. It may not be pretty, often I just add a link. I will also add the OBP social media posts here, as an extra feed. I'm Laura, the Admin. Asst. working with Ontario Barn Preservation. Hello, Welcome, and Season's Greetings (its always a season).

Farm Card with a Black Fence
I can't see well enough to read the artist name on this one. I will try again when it isn't so dark outside and my eyes are fresher.
Decorating the Barn for Christmas Card
I started finding better (cards I liked more) about the same time I was getting too tired to keep looking. This one has no link, a broken link via Pinterest. So I don't know the source.
A Red Barn for Christmas Cards
I found this online. I would have bought a set to send out but they don't ship to Ontario. I'll find something else. But, if you are in the US - take a look at them.
Old Red Barn Art By James W. Cox
This card was for sale on Ebay, but taken down. The card was printed in the US and likely the barn and artist were both from the US too. But, I like it.

I don't know (remember) if I have ever seen a barn made all of rock, natural stone from the area it was built.
