North Slope Farm

North Slope Farm is a fifty acre property located in Central Western New Jersey. There is intensive pressure on land owners to utilize their development rights or lose them. There are multiple pressures that discourage investment in sound land management practices, (cost w/o market value, and municipal/State imminent domain seizures). The challenge is how much to invest in agriculture in an economic and cultural environment that does not support it? How to direct resources into a project that might not yield cash return but could achieve stewardship of valuable resources. In this case, the valuable resources include; worker housing, property rights, small scale business enterprises, public access to government process and community development.
