A Hilltop Farm

The expansive hills of Alta Vista Farm in Rutland, MA are dotted with new and antique farm equipment, while the farmhouse pays homage to the bison that are raised there.

This photo blog features the seasonal changes in nature observed in my own backyard and a variety of local environments. The Wachusett Meadow Audubon Sanctuary in Princeton, MA is often highlighted as a model for the positive effects a small nature preserve can have on the larger environment and the local community. Local sites of historical, cultural and recreational interest are spotlighted as well. All photographs were taken by me. Thank you so much for visiting.

Wonderful photos, but I especially like the one of the hole through the apple tree. A unique perspective.

Thanks, Laurie. I am thinking how much your part of Maine and Central MA seem to have in common!

Beautiful. I took Girl Scouts out there years ago to visit the charity Heifer Project’s farm.

I used to love Heifer, too. It’s been sold to folks who are trying to make it an educational farm once again.
