From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An outfarm is a smaller cluster of buildings set around a yard which provides facilities for outlying fields separate from the main farmsteads. They are often considered alongside field barns as enabling larger farms to work more distant films more efficiently. However, they are usually somewhat larger. Examples of facilities include shelter for cattle, threshing floors, and other storage facilities. Some outfarms included cottages to house the workers located there.[1]
Some outfarms have become listed buildings as they provide important surviving example of the local regionally character. Often they indicate a local response to the development of farming methods in the nineteenth century and are built from local materials in a vernacular style. For example, Wood Barn Outfarm in Ipplepen.[2]
