Quarterbridge Farm

A small household on Sourland Mountain. Chickens, a historic bridge, and a few quiet tools that keep life moving.

QB: the automation layer. The stuff that runs the household quietly (alerts, cron, integrations).

The Bridge

Quarterbridge Farm gets its name from something unusual: we own one quarter of one of the oldest bridges in New Jersey. It's a stone arch bridge over Cattail Brook, and it's been standing since before anyone can quite remember.

The bridge isn't grand. It doesn't carry highway traffic or appear on postcards. But it's ours β€” a quarter of it, anyway β€” and there's something grounding about owning a piece of infrastructure that's outlasted generations. We named the farm after it.

The Chickens πŸ”

The real stars of Quarterbridge Farm are the flock. They roam the property, provide eggs, and have survived more drama than most soap operas β€” including a hawk attack where our 8-year-old son ran out to defend them.

We monitor the coop with cameras (Peanut Cam is a fan favorite) and have gotten pretty good at chicken first aid along the way. Farm life isn't always glamorous, but it's never boring.

Sourland Life

385 ft up, always interesting

Sourland Mountain

The farm sits at about 385 feet on Sourland Mountain β€” technically more of a big ridge than a mountain, but the microclimate is real. We run colder, wetter, and foggier than the Hillsborough flatlands just a few miles below.

Our weather station (live dashboard) tracks conditions in real-time. People around here check it regularly β€” Sourland weather and valley weather can be two different things, especially in winter.

The Farm Hand

QB is an AI helper that lives with us β€” the kind of thing you build when you’d rather automate than complain.

It started as β€œmake the house a little easier to run.” If it ever grows into something we offer publicly, it’ll be because it earned it here first.
