64. 60 acres of former dairy farm in the Lake Ontario snow belt.
Fri Aug 24, 2012, 10:36 AM
Aug 2012

The farmer planted 40 acres of Red pine for Christmas trees back in the 50's.......and never harvested them! Now it's a mixed woods. We've been planting oaks, hickory and black walnut for 25 years now. The property runs about 1/2 mile back over two ridges and down to a creek. We've got deer, rabbits, foxes, coyote, turkey, grouse, chickedees, cat birds, crows, owls, orioles, cardinals and wood peckers. It's my peice of Heaven.
