The farm lies along roughly one mile of Butternut Creek, and has employed conservation practices since first installing manure storage 40 years ago. “Sixty cows would have been a huge dairy 70 years ago,” David Galley said. “We're producing more food on less acres, with less inputs and less carbon footprint than we ever have.” (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)
