The Homestead - Introduction

Located in a microclimate within a microclimate our land is comprised of a southwest-facing slope. There are a variety of soil types here. Rocky hillsides drop into glacial till which, in turn, drops into patchy areas of sandy loam, clay loam, and muck soils.

At the bottom of our property the land transitions into a wetland marsh system. This amazing diversity has given way to a myriad of interesting planting possibilities and avenues for experimentation.
