Garvin Road, Town Of Bangor, New York

I was driving home one day and passed Garvin Road, so I turned onto it and brought out my camera. The first place I came to was this handsome, old style farm, complete with dual silos and farm equipment:

And the corn crib out back was filled nearly to capacity. I wondered if they might have pigs, though I didn't see, hear or smell livestock of any sort:

This old barn and silo were rundown and I suspected they hadn't been used in years:

As I drove by, I could tell I'd been right. This barn has been out of commission for a long time:

A farm house, typical of the area:

Another old barn, also apparently no longer used:

People were still farming, though this corn field had not been harvested:

I took a close look at the once proud dairy farm sign on this barn and learned that it was once called Scattered Acres:

Farm equipment and baleage, with an outbuilding almost hidden behind the trees:

Barns, silo and grain bin, apparently no longer used:

Old fields, whose barbed wire and trees indicate that they once were pastures. Maybe they still are:

A small farm beneath big trees:

Coming closer to the above farm, it seemed as if no one lived there anymore but they were still harvesting firewood:

A sugar house. This is big maple syrup country. This is where I ended my driving tour, so I put my camera away and headed for home:

Garvin Road In Moira, New York

I had just finished a driving tour of Wagner Road in the rural town of Moira, New York (previous two posts) and then turned onto Garvin Road on my way to do some shopping in Malone. I stopped to photograph this silage operation:

There were bunker silos all ready for winter storage and the work appeared to be done for the season:

Farther along Garvin Road, I saw this well tended sugar house with an abundant firewood supply:

This old farm house and barn appeared to need repairs and I assumed it was no longer occupied, but the driveway seemed to be clear and it may still have been occupied. It was sure a lovely location:

A busy farm with barns, tractors, silos and grain bins:

A busy operation, presumably dairy:

The view out over the autumn fields to the hills beyond:

A very large barn which appeared unused - except that someone was parked there:

An old farm with multiple outbuildings and a silo:

Almost to the end of Garvin Road, I stopped to snap a picture of this corn crib, an old style one rarely sees anymore:

A lovely farm with grazing cattle of many colors, including whites and linebacks:

When I reached the highway, I stopped again to photograph this classic barn with two silos:

And directly across the highway was this prosperous looking farm. I took the picture from Garvin Road so I wouldn't have to stop on the highway:

Garvin And Harvey Roads In North Bangor, New York

I was on my way home from the North Country Animal Shelter in Malone, New York (previous two posts) and noticing the lovely farm country along the road. I eventually gave in to temptation and turned onto Garvin Road for a driving tour. I was not disappointed:

This modern style barn had an old fashioned, traditional corn crib:

A farm house with both a wonderful front porch and an upstairs balcony from which to enjoy the scenery:

A herd of cattle, eating beside an old barn and silo:

A farm house behind a traditional maple:

This was indeed traditional farm country, with old fashioned family farms everywhere:

A very large tractor was parked outside this red barn:

A farm house with a smaller barn out back:

A sugar house with its supply of wood all cut and stacked for use in the springtime:

Lots of firewood here too:

At some point I left Garvin Road and continued on Harvey Road, passing these beautiful birch trees, bordering woodlands:

 

This classic, red brick farm house sat up on a hill and must have had lovely views. But my driving tour was over and I had dogs waiting for me at home. So I put away my camera and continued on toward home:
