The name “Town Farm Carpentry” come from the term Town Farm (Poor Farm). These farming properties were owned and managed by rural communities in the 19th and 20th century in many parts of North America. It served as a place to house and help those who had fallen in bad times. The farm provided food and shelter for those who needed it, and in return, those people worked the farm, and it returned value to the community. The Hopkins family currently lives on a farm built in the late 18th century, that was for a time, the Town Farm of Jay, ME. The name serves to honor that history and the sense of community.
