The residence dates back to 1788.  The 1 acre property backs up to East Amwell valley.  The barn and home sit at a high elevation and the land slopes to a central low point where a small brook flows through the property.  Behind the brook, the elevation increases again and ends at a farm field that extends into the valley.

Soil conditions vary from dry to flowing water.  Deer pressure is high.  My family and I reside on this land and it serves as my testing grounds for new perennials and shrubs.  I work in my gardens almost every Sunday.  My wife and I expand our organic vegetable garden a little bit every year.  I have converted the rear lawn into a meadow and design new walking paths once a year.  We have six chickens who enjoy our meadow and we enjoy their eggs!

I am in the process of converting the second story of our barn into Garden Artisans East Amwell landscape design and build studio.  I am also in the early site analysis stage of creating a master plan for the property.  I am fortunate to own an interesting historic home, barn, and property.  I am excited to develop my land into something that my family will enjoy forever!
