As the Holmes Farm pioneered advanced orchard methods and made a distinctive contribution to the apple industry in Vermont, the book makes an important contribution to the literature and history of Vermont apple orchards. In addition, the farm was a leading breeder of trotters, horses with a Morgan horse heritage. The book examines the end of the farm due to foreclosure in 1923 and the resulting diaspora of the family and its transformation in a single generation. The author is a direct descendant of the Holmes family, which came to Vermont in the 1780s. In addition to reconstructing the history of the farm, he examines what it means to be a Vermonter by building on the legacy of the farm&#8217;s 101year history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Being a Vermonter and the Rise and Fall of the Holmes Farm 1822-1923 On Being a Vermonter is a case study of a Vermont farm that existed from the early 1800s to the early 1900s.
