As Anna was busy trying to distance herself from her family’s farm, the farm was working its slow magic: winding its way around her heart like a pole bean tendril and eventually pulling her back home to steward the land her family has farmed for five generations.

The wetland itself is great for maintaining the water table and can become an important source of water for your cattle. The value added to a wetland that can be found in a riparian area is seemingly endless: water filtration, food for wild game, habitat for native pollinators and forage if you find yourself in a dry year.
