Barn Raising Blog

My huband, Kenny, and I bought our 2 acre property in 2001. It was zoned Residential at the time. Three years later, our township re-zoned and we then found ourselves in an agricultural district, but still fell short of the minimum acreage for housing a horse on our land. I purchased a copy of our towns zoning rules and I thoroughly familiarized myself with them. After 2 more years of zoning meetings, our lawyer helped us purchase additional property from our neighbor, and we were at last ready to pursue a barn!
