But I just love to look at layouts of garden farms where the whole building lifestyle, so to speak, is put in place with the plants.

It was put into place in the 17th century as settlers move into New France. Many houses still stand as a proof to this efficient way of building everything under one single and continuing roof. Farms in northern Maine and New Brunswick laid out the framework for the many generations that used it for so long.

They must be on to something since it seems to be working. Some of the differences between the Amish farm and the 'modern' farm is the relationship with the land, the production goals, the scale, and the pace. When one buys an old farm some of the building locations are already set. It does help to understand why, and to have a vision to work toward.
