Farm Journal ~ June
June grasses always create a meadow-like effect out in the field. Beyond our thirty cultivated rows of blueberries, an acre and a half, there are open fields to the east, south, and west, four and a half acres worth, with woods further west and along the north side, measuring a total of eighteen and a quarter acres.
Obviously, this creates a wide area for wildlife to forage and carry out their lives; and they do.
This is as important to us here at the farm as our fifty years farming the land. Especially so as we look toward the future and the farm's conservation status with the Town of Dennis and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in perpetuity, once we stop farming. We are not there yet.
This is the kind of change that is something to cherish.
