First there was tiny-house porn. Then, cabin porn. And now, we have a new group of fantasy-inducing buildings to ogle: farmhouses.
There’s not a Tumblr, yet. But there is a Pinterest board, brought to you by undercaffeinated editors at Modern Farmer:
Spent the morning finding farmhouses we like and putting them up on Pinterest, waiting for the coffee to kick in pinterest.com/modfarm/farmho…

We don’t want to indulge farm fantasies too much, because the reality is that running a farm is hard work, and farms are often smelly. That might sound obvious, but it really is a problem for beginning farmers looking to lease land: Local foodies might like the idea of having their vegetables grown on their land, but once they agree to lease a plot and find out how dirty and smelly farms are, they have second thoughts. But there are perks to farm life — and living in a tidy house on a piece of productive land is one them. Do it vicariously through Pinterest and you don’t even have to deal with manure!
