The Medieval Farm

 

Hello there, welcome to my humble farm.

 

I'm a farmer in third generation on this piece of land, and it has allways provided well for our family. As long as our books records, we have been goat farmers. But a couple of years back, we needed to do some repairs on the house, so we decided to sell a couple.

 

Can you imagine my surprise when I heard, what people were willing to pay for goats at the farmers market? I quickly returned home to fetch and sell them all.

 

The profit easily was enough to pay for completly new farmhouse, with all the features I allways dreamt off, and some new lifestock too:

 

1. A proper thatched roof with a stuffed heather ridge and hardwood holddowns
   
2. Stables for our new lifestock under the same roof
3. A drivethrough for bringing in crops and hay efficiently
   
    
4. Generous hay stock
   
    
5. A black kitchen with a central fireplace to heat the whole house
   
    
6. Comfortable sleeping quarters
7. A small garden next to the house for herbs and vegetables
   
    
8. A good chimney with a smoking chamber
   

 

Right now we have room for three people, a cow and her calve, a sheep and her lamb, two pigs and their piglets and a couple of chickens. Maybe, one day, I can honour the family tradition and get a goat once again...but that's whishfull thinking I guess.

You can support this on Lego IDEAS right now, I am glad about every vote, I really am :)

Go team Goat!

 

2356 Pieces - it is pretty substantial for the part count, allthough it does use s a lot of bigger plates.

 

44 x 32 x 22cm excluding the well

 

The removeable roof worked quite well in a prototype I built

 

Feedback is highly appreciated.

This is an interesting design with the home attached to the barn.  The interior looks good.  The roof looks good but the large slope pieces do look a bit off  to me.  Nice overall job.  

Happily supported.

I like how you've created the half-timber effect in the wars by building plate out.

Glad you liked it.

The idea for the studs out wall was the seed for the whole project actually.
