WELCOME TO HEAVEN on earth!

    This Holland Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey farm is historic and beautiful.  It is part of the original “Hawk Farm” purchased by Joseph Hawk in 1819 for $3,420, a tidy sum in those days.  This date is as far back as county title records take us.  The stone farmhouse dates to this period, and there is a one-bedroom stone “Spring House” on the property that dates to the Revolutionary War. 
    The current owners acquired the property in 2004 and meticulously restored and renovated these two stone buildings in 2005-2006.  The month of acquisition housed a blue moon, hence the farm’s name.  A lovely stream meanders throughout the acreage, and natural springs abound.   

    Historically, the property was utilized as a dairy and poultry farm.  Like many family farms from a bygone era, the property was self-sufficient with multiple cisterns for drinking water, crops for humans and animals, barns and a silo, a windmill to generate power to deliver fresh water to the barns and farmhouse, and orchards throughout.  The 42° fresh spring water flowing constantly through the Spring House kept dairy products cool for use in the farmhouse as milk, butter, and cheese.  Acres of dense timber stands provided firewood and construction material.  
    By the eve of the millennium, the farm had fallen into decline and the buildings were abandoned.  The current owners rescued the property and cleared years of neglect and acres of overgrowth.  They hope to re-establish its nobility and original mission.  New fencing is installed in places and chickens have the run of the yard when not laying or roosting in their beige hen house.  Farm fresh free-range brown eggs are available for a reasonable price.  Lean healthy heritage breed broilers raised humanely with constant access to fresh air and sunshine are available seasonally, along with fresh produce, hand crafted natural shea butter soap, and seasoned firewood.
