The Farm

Where This Is Going

The farm and the forestry work aren't two separate things. The plan — the longer one, the one that takes years — is for the nursery to supply native plant material for the restoration and conservation work happening out in the woods.

Most ecological restoration projects require large quantities of locally sourced native plants. Buying from distant commercial nurseries is expensive and produces mixed results. Growing them here, from regional seed stock, produces better plants and builds a tighter connection between what's grown on this farm and what goes back into the land.

Restoration that starts with locally grown plants is restoration that actually takes. The goal is to close that loop here — grow it, plant it, watch it work.

The nursery is early stage right now. Direct sales, farmers markets, and some local restoration projects. The infrastructure grows as the forestry work grows. That's the plan, and it's going according to plan.
