Mondays with Martha #212 - Elysium Heritage Farm: Homegrown National Park Example

This week I share a Mid-Mitten Wild Ones Chapter field tour with Kim and Jeff Hartley of Elysium Heritage Farms near Pinconning, Michigan. Through their local Wild Ones chapter, these landowners have chosen to embrace the Homegrown National Park mission and incorporate ecological stewardship activities like native plant conservation and establishment and invasive species management into their recreational and farm business practices. Get a glimpse of the heritage breed farm animals, native flora and fauna, and beautiful hardwood-conifer swamp ecosystem you can experience during your stay on this 120-acre property.
