The farm that Jesse McDougall and Cally Wheeler McDougall are operating is a boarding horse farm in Vermont. Its premises include their family's farmhouse, barns and stables, as well as a veterinarian's office, paddocks and dressage rings. They farm many acres of fields where they grow hay for the horses, and a bit of fruit and vegetables for their own consumption. Last Sunday, I captured these scenes of the farm and of some of its residents and tenants.
