Jon Close is the fifth-generation owner of Close Family Farms in Mayfield. His family has owned farm property since 1879, before even the Great Sacandaga Lake was there. Now, he's looking to the future.

Farmers have always had to adapt to stay afloat. Bring down the cost of connecting to the electrical grid to keep the Foothills Solar project alive.

First day of spring for these happy girls...

Frolicking on the green grass and basking in the sun. Old bovine friendships are renewed, and old grudges are hashed out.

What a joy it is to see them out, running around and enjoying themselves. A great start to our family's 160th spring season on this farm.

Jon would like to declare that Spring is, in fact, here.
