There was an actual, working farm close to our house in Mountain View, California. A relic in Silicon Valley’s Santa Clara County, where at most you’ll find a few acres of fruit trees retained for historical reasons, the farm on Grant Road was held in fond regard by locals. I used to stop by their fruit and veggie stand. Seth told me last week that the farm is now a vacant field. The owners sold it a couple years ago and it will likely become another cluster of too-close-together houses. The good news is that the farm’s shiny windmill was dismantled and put back together at the Rengstorff House in Shoreline Park. It stands next to the replica tank house, providing an accurate picture of how water used to be stored for farm irrigation.
