The Ford Farmer
In the middle of nowhere, surrounded by farmland as far as the eye can see, we find this long abandoned farmhouse. The home has been abandoned for at least 15 years and the surrounding land for almost as long. There are many vehicles throughout the property including a bus, a couple of cars and even several trucks, most of which are made by Ford.
John quit school at a young age and started working right away, filling his time with odd jobs and helping out on the farm. He Married his wife Dorothy at the age of 22 and lived in a trailer on the farm while working in construction. They spent a brief period living somewhere else but his passion for farming was strong and they moved back shortly after. He continued to farm until his health forced him to retire.
John never felt the desire to travel and had only been outside of Canada on two occasions. Instead he spent as much time with his wife, two children and his grand children. He was also a councillor for his local municipality.
After John and his wife left the farm property their extended family continued to work the surrounding land but the house, outbuildings and vehicles continue to rot away.
