A family & a valley, forty years on.
Back in 1984, George drove around Sussex County with his 70-year-old father, Angelo, looking at properties. They wanted to start a small farm. One day a 280-acre unkept, bank-owned piece came up. Flat fields for farming, a small mountain, woods and wetlands — exactly what they pictured.
They jumped on it. They even started restoration work before the closing was done. Today George, his son, and his grandson still work the land — and occasionally sit down to soak in the view.
It's 300 acres now. Wood turtles on the wetlands. Mountain-spring water so clean that visitors bring jugs to fill. Our firewood comes from fallen trees; our crops cause minimal erosion. The goal has always been to keep the place the way we found it.
