YOUR NATURE PRESERVE - MEMBER SUPPORTED CONSERVATION

There is a remarkable 1.160-acre section of land here at the farm boasting approximately 100 meters of naturalized beachfront, nestled within wild marshland and woodland. We call it “The Slip".

In the past, The Slip was where the hippies kept their boats and pigs (the ruins of the old “Pig Palace” still exist today). This is an enchanting, protected area.

Municiple zoning rules will not allow us to sever the property due to its ecological significance. So, while we are unable to sell or farm this unique space, we have come up with a way to share its beauty with a select group of individuals through an exclusive membership program.

Like the idea, but membership isn't right for you? Make a donation by clicking here.

This is how we keep the farmland as a farm. Thank you for your support.
