Living in the country brings with it a unique set of challenges and joys no matter how many acres you own. That's why the Editors of The Progressive Farmer created the Idea House and Farmstead. It's a place where we celebrate the best in farmstead living—with clever and stylish ideas for both inside the house and outdoors on the expanse of scenic land surrounding our country homes.
