noun, a pasture or part of a farming operation located up the road from the main farm; see also upper barn
“Went two miles up the road to the upper place. Dad had a small pasture to put them for the night, so we got the cows in and we milked the cows.”
“My sister and I would walk across the fields with the Smith kids, and that’s just about where … the old upper place was, and we had to walk one mile, straight down to the river, and the cows were usually right down there at the river, and drive them up and have them in the milking yard by five o’clock.”
