The fields of Glynwood Farm are an important part of the farm operation. Twelve acres are used to grow corn that is harvested and chopped for silage to be eaten by the cows over the winter. Thousands of bales of hay are also produced each summer. Some of the hay is sold locally and the rest is used to feed Glynwood's cattle, sheep and horses over the winter. During the summer hay harvest, farming at Glynwood can become very busy.
Whitey pays close attention to the weather, watching for any indications of rain.
It's critical that the hay is cut and then baled completely dry. Glynwood's magnificent barn, which we often joke should have its own zip code, covers an impressive 16,000 square feet and is estimated to be between 150 and 175 years old. Its sturdy post and beam construction provides ample room for storing Glynwood's hay, silage, farm equipment and woodworking center. The barn yard also provides shelter for the cattle during colder weather. Visitors to Glynwood should watch the movements they see around the farm- a tractor, a mower, the familiar green truck making its rounds to feed all the animals.
