Getting to Know Aldermere Farm
A Rich Farming History
MCHT has maintained this 136-acre working Belted Galloway Cattle farm since 1991, introducing many educational and community programs to help visitors deepen their appreciation for land conservation and sustainable agriculture. Aldermere Farm has a rich history and is known as one of the world’s premier breeders of Belted Galloway cattle. You can ask anyone in Rockport or Camden where the “Belties” or “Oreo Cows” are, and they’ll point you to Aldermere Farm.Curious to learn more about the preserve and its operation alongside Erickson Fields?
