We know that NO pesticides, herbicides or any chemicals have been used on this property since at least year 2000. Just below the house is an orchard of several heirloom apple trees. Our best tree is a Wolf River which produces late and keeps very well. We stored them in the basement and were eating them and making pies until we ran out in the middle of January this year! If you really love apples, there’s plenty of room to expand the orchard. Some uses of the fields include: Bird, Butterfly and Wildlife habitat - last year we had HUNDREDS of Monarch butterfly chrysalises within ten feet of the house, and uncountable numbers in the fields. This spring a turkey hatched a clutch of eggs near the barns. Woodcocks perform their mating ritual every evening in the spring and nest along the edges of the fields. Dozens of varieties of songbirds nest on or near the ground in hayfields or bushy meadows. Hermit Thrush echo their hauntingly beautiful voice in the forest. Plenty of pasture and hay for Horses, Goats, Sheep, Alpacas, Cattle. Barns and buildings for Horses, Sheep, Goats, Chickens, Ducks etc. Enjoy wild Blueberries, Raspberries and Strawberries. Grow ORGANIC Potatoes, Hops, or expand Berry crops and Apple trees.
