What's in a Name?
Folly Brook Farm is the name penned for the Buck farm in Thomas Tryon's epic novel, The Wings of the Morning. We chose this name for the farm because Virginia already uses Old Buck Farm for her art and book business (website: http://www.fanseafultales.com/ ), and needed something different for our property and related enterprise. A description of some similarities between Tryon's Follybrook Farm and our version is found on the Historical Background page.
