The Past Welcomes The Present

The charm and inspiration of this equestrian community is inspired by the first resident  who settled the farm in 1780. Like the community around Duchess Farm, it has seen many changes and has been continually framed for all these years. Duchess Farm now has a new life and a new beginning as a
community for the horse lover. This will give the farm a "new" family and will insure that generations will enjoy the natural beauty and experience of "growing up" on a farm.
