A New Farmers' Market: Ecosystem Services
Ecosystem services are goods and services provided by nature that benefit humans.
Farm Viability
Long-term viability proves challenging for many of our local farms.
Enhanced Local Economy
Agriculture is a lifestyle, a vocation, and an avocation, but it is also a business that helps support local towns and merchants.
Reduced Development Pressure
The Bobolink Project can generate on-farm income to counter-act some of the development pressures that are threatening our valuable farmland.
Water Quality
The Bobolink Project offers a unique opportunity to positively impact the condition of our water by encouraging existing hay land to remain in production.
Carbon Sequestration
Well-managed hay and grazing lands are an excellent venue for carbon sequestration due to their dense vegetation.
Agrarian Heritage
Agriculture is as important to us today as it was for our ancestors 200 years ago.
