Philip James Jones purchases land on Israel Hill, in the White Hills of what is now Shelton, Connecticut. A recent Welsh-Irish immigrant, Philip establishes a farmstead on Walnut Tree Hill Road. He raises beef, sheep, and apples, and his family.
As we reflect on our agricultural adventures and experiences, I find it exciting to realize that our many environmental practices work in symbiosis with the positive ecological impacts and the economic success of our farm.
I believe this is a critical message for our nation to embrace.
