Barre is flat, open Orleans County country, where the corn runs to the horizon and the wind comes down off the Lake Ontario ridge with nothing to slow it. Andres Lawn Care mows the dooryards and lawns tucked into all that farmland, the green squares that sit bright against dark fields in June. Early mornings start wet here, dew heavy enough to soak a boot, and the cut waits for the sun to burn it off so the lines come out clean. A trimmed edge along a gravel drive, grass held tight around the porch steps and the mailbox — that is what makes a farmhouse look kept. Out toward Barre Center and the crossroads beyond, the same care goes to every yard on the route.
