Thistlebloom Farm was built in 1860. It has over 77 acres of mixed land, a house, 2 barns and a shed. It is located on Nipmuc and Pocumtuck land (aka Amherst, MA). Sometimes the farm and its current guardian have arguments.
That's brilliant! Might be worth a trip to Liège if logistics allow. Thanks for sharing!

The Cumbrian poet Norman Nicholson (1914-1987) included 'hog-holes' (different spelling) in his wonderful poem 'Wall':
A wall walks slowly.
At each give of the ground,
Each creak of the rock's ribs,
It puts its foot gingerly,
Arches its hog-holes,
Lets cobble and knee-joint
Settle and grip.
