The Johnston Farm

Every year Tory plants trees; it's part of growing. But they take up quite a bit of space, and it's not like a row crop that disappears in the winter and then leaves you the same field for your next crop. The past few years have required buying new land, which is always an ordeal -- has to be a specific soil type, size, and in a certain location.

This year one of the solutions was to rent ground. We call this one the Johnston Farm. It's 37 acres and I think he planted about 25,000 trees on it this spring.
