Our Landscape |

Our farmland includes 27 acres of rolling fields and lightly wooded areas, nestled on the east side of Clarry Hill, and looking east over the St. George River Valley. The farm is bordered by stone walls and the shores of Seven Tree Pond. White ash, sugar maple, oak, birch, wild cherry and apple trees frame the fields, which abound with wildflowers during the spring and summer prior to mowing season. Fire Road 20, our driveway, winds through the center of the property, close by a huge white ash tree which stood by the old barn (now only a cellar hole), by the greenhouse parking area and the farmhouse, through the fields, and down to the cabin on the shore in the corner of the cove. It then follows the shore out to and around the pine-covered point which marks the narrows at the center of Seven Tree Pond. The fields, abandoned as farmland a decade ago, are now once again beautiful, being restored to fertile and productive purposes. Gardens and landscaping are in the plans for the summer of 2008.
Our land includes 1/4 mile of private frontage on Seven Tree Pond, which is a natural part of the St George River, flowing toward salt water in Thomaston Harbor about 10 miles downstream.
