Changing of the Guard

Our principle in the office has been selling farms for longer than we would care to admit, and the farmers of yesteryear have all but moved on.

Locally grown—and organic—produce is the name of the game. We can expect hay prices to rise, not because of supply and demand but simply because it costs quite a bit of money to produce.

We need to be thankful for all those working the land and do our bit to keep them in business.
