We teamed up with a Forester to consider the best way to reclaim up to 20 acres of land for agricultural use (we have 100 acres total.) Unlike most people who want to sell their most valuable hardwood trees and cash them in for money, we wanted to do the opposite but at no cost to us. We had the land inspected by both the forester and logger and entered into an agreement to have all of the pine, hemlock, ect cut and leave the large stately hardwood trees.
Our property consist of Maple, Poplar, Birch, Beech, Pine, Hemlock, Cedar and Oak among others. We have some very prominent areas of mostly hardwood vs softwood.
Once the area we designated was cleared it opened up a large view of the surround town hill-scape. The clearing also opened up due east exposure so this hill will do best for our early season crops and warming up the various huts for our livestock. Plus it provides a gorgeous view.

Entrepreneur, Farmer, Wife, Artist and Creator, Real Estate Agent, AirBnB SuperHost and “Fixer Upper”, Erin is ready to share her journey with you.
I want to share my experiences from being a former monday through friday sales executive, a slave to the 9-5, to becoming a full time farmer, wife, artist and creator, AirBnB superhost, and owner of several small and local successful business’.
Our farm is a dream come true, but with it came plenty of issues. I want to share with you the journey that both my husband and I started together in 2015.
From getting married, losing jobs, being broke and the unrelenting woes of an old fixer upper house, I want to share what we did to rise above.
This is an inspiring true story built on grit, pain, loss, love and hard work and determination.
~ Erin and Jared
