FOUR GENERATIONS OF FAMILY FARMING
The land has been certified organic by the Maryland Department of Agriculture since 1998. In addition to organic practices, the Lovells have established buffer zones to protect the streams. The fenced buffer zones prevent cattle traffic in the streams and provide habitat for wildlife. Natural springs have been harnessed for wells throughout the pastures in order to provide sparkling clean watering sources for the cattle. A twenty-five foot buffer zone provides protection from adjoining conventional farms. In addition, approximately fifty acres of woodland is maintained to promote native flora and provide habitat. In order to provide good stewardship of the land and maintain balance and harmony of the environment, wildlife is encouraged and managed.
