We believe animals are an integral part of a thriving ecosystem when they are allowed to fulfill their natural roles as part of a complex and interconnected relationship between the soil, mineral, and water cycles.

We raise Katahdin sheep within a holistically managed grazing program where their movement through the landscape catalyzes and strengthens the biodiversity and environmental resilience around them.

From our Breadtree Parters - Agroforestry is an ancient practice of raising food crops, trees, and animals together. It offers the potential for farmers to produce regionally-significant foods while sequestering carbon, cleaning water, improving soil health, increasing biodiversity, and making equitable livelihoods.

At Bell & Burrow, we’ve begun a pilot program to plant staple food crops (chestnuts and oaks) and integrate sheep grazing (Intensive Silvopasture) to trial a form of agriculture that maximizes ecological output and land regeneration.

Ecological Forestry prioritizes biodiversity, habitat, and environmental function, beyond traditional timber production goals.

We see the critical role of New England forests as wildlife corridors and ecological nurseries for life of all kinds. As developmental pressure and land values increase, preserving our bioregion’s forests is imperative. Our work merges conservation with active stewardship, all with the goal of fostering climate resilience and biological abundance.
