In 1986 we bought 96 acres of land in Gilbertsville, NY. First thing we did was put a trailer on the property so we would have a place to spend our honeymoon. In the early 1990's we added another parcel of 14 acres to the Farm.
Over the years the Force Farm became our oasis and retreat. We cleared the land to build a barn, renovated the farmhouse and planted a grove of pine trees. In 2010 our sister-in-law transferred the final parcel, a quarter acre of land, to us to complete our ownership of 111 acres of land.
Our farm is picturesque and a place of many happy memories for our extended family and many friends. We have enjoyed the beauty of the land in all four seasons. Our daughter was raised on this land and learned many life skills through working and maintaining the land and experiencing nature first hand.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about why we are fighting to save the Force Farm.
