As residents it is our goal to help protect and preserve our forested areas, clean waters, working landscapes, historic barns and buildings, and to preserve our strong ties to agricultural and community traditions, all of which continue to shape our rural lifestyle and scenic landscapes. A quick stop at a country store or village market can also offer you an assortment of specialty items that are just right for a quiet country picnic set in one of these preserved, pristine locals or a meal on the go!
