Brigham Hill Barn

The Brigham Hill Farm is the second farming program operated by Food for the Needy, Inc. - a non-profit organization that runs the volunteer-based farm and donates its annual crops to hunger relief organizations throughout central Massachusetts. For this project, we worked with Dufresne-Henry Engineers, Dixon Salo Architects, and R.H. White Construction Company.

This post & beam barn features rough sawn native white pine and hemlock with traditional joinery - mortise & tenon with hardwood pegs and dovetailed joists
