previous special reports still online:
the Pacers
the Farm
this section is still closed due to storm damage (see special report).
the farm hands have been working on it, but the contractor's estimate was higher than we had anticipated and far exceeded the repair budget, so we've been obliged to tackle much of the work ourselves.
as a result, the temporary closure of section will be extended a while longer.

the Cats
you can't have a farm without cats.
the Pacer Farm cats have been preoccupied with supervising reconstruction activities -- any rebuilding entails a drastic increase in the number of unsniffed objects (and for a while a damaged section of the cottage was hosting a bird's nest, which they found both inaccessible and fascinating).

the Railroad
it's no accident that Washington Grove, home of the Pacer Farm, is along the railroad.
the Town was founded in 1873 as a methodist summer retreat, and the location was chosen in part due to the convenient access to the City made possible by means of the recently-opened Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.
nor is it an accident that the Pacer Farm is in a location along the railroad.
the Pacer Farmer likes it that way.
before leaving the neighbourhood, please stop by The Janus Museum -- a fine Grove institution now operating in its very own domain www.janusmuseum.org.
you might also want to visit another Pacer Farm (no relation to this site).
