Conservation - water, soil, improving air quality, wildlife habitat
Shade - would you rather relax with a favorite beverage in the blinding sun or in the shade of a sugar maple?
For fun and profit - it may take 80 years but that straight walnut log is worth a little money
We added another reason: Legacy Trees.
Some might call them Memorial Trees but these are planted to honor those who are important to us, such as family, friends, and one planted for a group of people. All of them have an important impact on the farm and each tree is a reminder - a part of the legacy we hope to build.
We've even planted a few for other people who don't have the land to grow a maple, oak, or even a non-native species.
If you don't have the room for a tree, we can plant one for you. Contact me for details.
We have two Catalpa trees that were planted from seed collected from our neighbors who sadly passed away before they had a chance to watch them grow. Late Spring flowers are a reminder that they're still with us in spirit and seeds were given to their children to plant their own memorial.
