Organization Description
A small, stony, stubbornly profitable upland farm run on thrift by Hans Van Ripper since 1775.
Who we are
Headcount: Hans, one hired hand when he must, and Gunpowder the plough-horse. No frills, no waste, no debts, and no intention of acquiring any of the three.
How we work
By hand, by daylight, and by the shortest route to a finished field. Wages are modest but paid on the day, in full — and the boarding, whatever else is said of it, has never yet starved a schoolmaster.
Who thrives here
Someone with the patience of stone who can take direction hourly, whether or not they asked for it, and finish the field anyway.
Recorded in the parish register of Sleepy Hollow, autumn of 1799.
