Butternut Valley in Otsego County, New York Route 51 follows Butternut Creek through Butternut Valley and connects towns like Garrattsville, N.Y., seen among trees in the distance on June 12, 2021. “Seventy years ago, there was 29 dairies between Garrattsville and Morris, [an] eight-mile stretch,” said David Galley of Silver Spoon Dairy Farm in Garrattsville. “Now we're the only one left, and the fact is probably we ship as much milk as those 29 dairies did 70 years ago.” (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program) USAGE REQUEST INFORMATION The Chesapeake Bay Program's photographic archive is available for media and non-commercial use at no charge.

Butternut Valley in Otsego County, New York Weaver's Market is seen in Morris, N.Y., on June 11, 2021. Before Daniel Weaver, a member of the Amish community in Butternut Valley, opened the 4000-square-foot grocery store, the area was seen as a food desert despite its local food production. Now, customers come from beyond the valley to browse products from roughly 60 local producers—including Painted Goat Farm. “We need to bring in more family-operated farm stands and dairies—we’re not in competition. If we want a valley like this to flourish, we simply have to have more of everything,” Weaver said. “And with COVID and everything, people are wanting more and more local. So, it’s extremely important to think more local, to have more local things going on as far as markets.” (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program) USAGE REQUEST INFORMATION The Chesapeake Bay Program's photographic archive is available for media and non-commercial use at no charge.

An adjacent forest buffer was first planted over ten years ago. "They used to hay [the field] right up to the stream bank, which was another problem," said Jordan Clements of Otsego County Soil and Water Conservation District.

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) USAGE REQUEST INFORMATION The Chesapeake Bay Program's photographic archive is available for media and non-commercial use at no charge.
