the bounty of the garden. And, a restful spot on a summer’s afternoon to watch the next door paddock. "Horses make great neighbors,” John said. The original farmhouse was built by farmers Robert and Abigail Cox, who the Andrus’s surmise, were free slaves. The first record of sale shows the

house changed hands in 1857. Former Cape May dwellers, the Andrut’s say the location of the^ farmhouse allows the sounds of the town to come across the farmscape. "We can hear the sounding of the claxon when there’s a Tire in town," John said. They can hear the surf and, when there’s a slight western

breeze, a bell buoy out on the bay. "A hundred years ago,” John said, "the families who lived here would have been able to hear the hammering and sawing as the huge Victorian hotels were going up in Cape May."
