"Staci and I realized that if you don't conserve your land, who will? It's part of our family. Future generations will be able to live on the land and farm it in a way that makes sense to them."

"Fieldstone Farm is not a fancy Bluegrass farm by any means, but a family treasure that we want to preserve never to be developed."

"If we all band together, owners of small farms and great ones, we can make a huge difference. I hope conservation will become a way of thinking for all of us lucky enough to live in this beautiful countryside."

"We need places like this in the future. Each community will need a bit of quiet open space to treasure and a place to grow our food. Our kids will always have a place that they can look to, and know that their legacy is part of the community."

"The Bluegrass region is world renowned for its rolling hills and horses. As a community, we must celebrate and protect what differentiates us from the rest of the world.​"

"In all honesty, donating a conservation easement was the least that I could do considering that I am the 9th generation to farm this land. To preserve what was started more than two centuries ago was very important to me. My hope is that the easement will show future generations the importance of their heritage and the importance of the land.​"
