the saw mill is coming. We have looked hard at the threes. While there are absolutely some stunning trees on farm island there is a bunch of bull pines that must be dealt with. We will need some choice wood for our cottages and then hope to weed out the bull pine. There will be a focus on maple growth for our maple syrup hobby and a desire to grow and sell some Christmas trees. Both will need a canopy modification for sun light but nothing that will harm the esthetics off a beautiful tree stand.
Please see the photos "as it was" these are from the early 1900s. farm island got its name because it was a goat farm. though all the island were clear cut in and around that time farm is particularly baron as the goats ate everything in sight.
stay tune for more history and restoration of the cottage to it's original grandeur
