Our Land
Diverse Ecosystem
Our property features a mix of woods, farmland, and a year-round spring at the top of the hill. We've planted over 5,000 trees including walnuts, oaks, hickories, poplars, and hazels.
Swale System
Trees are planted on raised berms on contour with 40-60 feet between rows, allowing for alley cropping and grazing while the trees are young.
Water Management
We're developing a comprehensive water system using the natural spring, with plans for ponds on contour and efficient irrigation for our crops and livestock.
Our Products
Chinese Chestnuts
Our primary crop, focusing on culinary chestnuts that will be processed through the Route 9 chestnut co-op. We plant densely to allow for natural selection of the best-producing trees.
Hazelnuts
EFB-resistant hazelnuts that complement our chestnut production and contribute to our diverse nut orchard.
Fruit Trees
Grafted apples, American persimmons, and pawpaws growing in our nursery beds, providing additional income streams.
Pastured Livestock
Future plans for hogs and sheep using mob grazing techniques in the alleys between our tree rows.
Our Vision
Sustainable Agriculture

While focusing on productive trees, we maintain biodiversity by including native species and creating habitat for wildlife.
Community Connection
