A Gift of Good Land: Bluebird Hill Farm Announces Essay Contest for Aspiring Organic Farmers: Why I Want To Own and Operate
Bluebird Hill Farm Norma Burns, owner and operator of Bluebird Hill Farm in Bennett, NC, is holding an Essay Contest to award full ownership of her picturesque, 12.88- acre USDA Certified Organic farm. The topic for the 200-word essay is: Why We Want to Own and Operate Bluebird Hill Farm. The deadline for entries is June 1, 2017. After nearly 18 years of running Bluebird Hill
Farm — growing herbs, specialty vegetables, cut flowers, native plants, value-added farm crafts, and food products — Burns is ready to move back to Raleigh and into a more urban lifestyle. She wants to leave her beloved farm in the care of someone “with the life experience and physical stamina that active farming requires,” she said. The property is subject to an agricultural conser- vation easement. Aspiring farmers and others can learn more about Bluebird Hill Farm and see a gallery of photos on the farm’s Facebook
page:
www.facebook.com/pg/BluebirdHillFarmNC. The Essay Contest winners will be announced on the Facebook page on June 30. Calling her essay contest “A Gift of Good Land,” in homage to American novelist, poet, and environmental activist Wendell
Berry, Burns has established a website dedicated to the contest
www.bluebirdhillfarmessaycontest.com that explains all the details about the prize, including the eligibility requirements, entry fee, and how to enter.
