Bouncing down the rutted gravel backroads in Vermont’s farm country, one comes across beautiful old barns, vintage tractors alone in the field, vintage farm trucks, cows and more. Subjects perfect for modern farmhouse decor.
With a nod to the past, to the simple life on the family farm where people values were crystal clear, friends, family, food and sculpting a lifetime of working with the land and nature.
These are photographic subject fine art photographer Edward M. Fielding finds by searching the rural areas of Vermont and New Hampshire with abandoned.
Not based on Instagram posts, tourist maps or guides. Simply by being observant and diligent. Sometimes avoiding barb wire, guard dogs and curious cows. These subjects are found by putting in the time and effort to discover an old tractor put to use in a backwoods wood lot or abandoned in an old hayfield, poking out of a vintage New England barn or proudly displayed on someone’s front yard.
A balanced blend of rustic and refined, the modern farmhouse style continues to be a rising trend among today’s homeowners combines easy to maintain, non-fussy interiors with a bit of casualness to take the edge off cold, minimalist modern.
