Slate Knob Farm is a working farm that includes this barn as well as a small herd of cattle.
The cattle roam freely throughout the meadows of Langley Hollow.
Perhaps these calves can recommend a favorite cabin?
Some of the farm machinery has been placed "out to pasture"!
The goal of the management is to create a preserve that provides tranquility for residents and a home for native
flora and fauna. Some of the wildlife commonly seen includes wild turkey and deer - especially in the mornings.
Owing to the farm's status as a nature preserve, dogs and cats must be excluded for the benefit of the wildlife.
Isolated coves provide a peaceful respite from the hectic pace of city life.
Deer are commonly seen in the quiet meadows of the farm.
These wild turkeys were photographed in Langley Hollow in the the middle of the day!
Because there is no hunting on the farm, the wildlife can often be viewed up close.
