Last winter, several parcels were being sold off on Woodstock Road, some of which interested me as a potential home site. But the road is inaccessiable currently in the winter, though I wanted to check them out. So I did a quick drive-by on my way from Cole Hill State Forest to Partridge Run.

A nice sunny day, driving through the Switzkill Valley on Sunday.

While Berne has quite a bit of farming going on in the valleys, there is less agriculture going on there then to the north in Knox. A lot of the hillsides and upper elevation areas aren't great for farming, and even in the valleys, more of the land is used for pasture and hay production.
