Farm News

Well once again the blog has gone neglected. What can I say, that's what happens when you have a farmer wearing a lot of different hats. But there is good reason for the lack of postings and that is a major announcement. Brines Farm has expanded, purchasing a historic 80 acre farm around the corner from our existing farm in northern Webster Township. We are so excited, so overwhelmed, and so humbled to be the proud new stewards of a beautiful piece of earth which had a long history in the lineage of one family the previous 150 years or so. The land feels like the definition of pastoral with its gently rolling open spaces and one of the freshest tributaries to the Huron River - Arms Creek - bisecting the middle of the farm. Needless to say every ounce of spare time has gone into getting to know this land, beginning to lay out our plans to work with nature, and planting a selection of fruit & nut trees and shrubs as well as some summer produce. Stay tuned for more stories and tales from Brines Farm @ Arms Creek Valley (and of course continued stories from Brines Farm @ Donovan Mountain Hollow)!

For now here are some photos below. If you click on them you get a booklet of 37 photos from around the farm boundary.
