The countryside out here is dotted with farms and orchards. I've gone from the rugged survivalists of the coast to the gently farmers inland. While housing developments are moving into the former farm land, you still can see the outlines of farms or find real working farmers. This picture is of Great Brook Farm in Carlise which is a couple of towns east of me in Ayer. Great Brook is a working dairy farm. The owner leases the farm from the state who also operates the land as a state park with walking, cross-country and equestrian trails. This farm has a really cool 21st century robotic milking system for its cows! Hot stuff. I want to go back next winter and ski at night on their lantern lit trails. Did I mention they make their own ice cream?
