The Barn Yard Blog

Barns have been at the forefront of history since the early years of America. And legendary actor Cole Hauser has been in some of the most extraordinary barns in the country. When he decided it was time for one of his own, Cole knew he wanted to work with a company dedicated to quality and passionate about the craft, raising barns that look towards the future while paying homage to a storied past. He knew he could trust The Barn Yard to build his ideal barn. Introducing Cole Hauser × The Barn Yard.
