Past Meets Present on a Tennessee Farm
[Garden&Gun] The name, Shenandoah Farms—painted in large block letters on the side of a massive red hay barn visible just as one turns onto the property—is not a misnomer. Despite lying roughly six hundred miles southwest of the Shenandoah Valley, the spread outside Summertown, Tennessee, evokes the nostalgic melody recalling the smiling valleys and rolling river of that faraway landscape: "Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you." "The name came from my father, who grew up in St. Louis," says Jamie Pfeffer, a principal of the architecture firm Pfeffer Torode who owns the 250 acres tucked into a bend of the Buffalo River with his wife, Laura, and both sets of their parents. "Boy Scouts was always an escape for him, and he used to look forward to events that would take him to the Shenandoah Valley in West Virginia. For him, Shenandoah is the idea of better things to come." Posted by: Besoeker 2022-09-22 |
