This barn is featured on the "Iowa Red Barn" label for Wallace Winery. Ilene is co-owner of the winery and owner of the barn and sheep farm. Her family has been on working the land for about 100 years, with a three year exception. She applied for a grant from the Iowa Barn Foundation for repair money but found the restrictions and regulations to be too stringent.
Being on this farm was peaceful and homey. There were buildings surrounding me and animals roaming about. The sheep were quite entertaining. Once they realized I was there, they would charge in and out of the barn, confronting me with more beady-eyed faces in every round.
