Having the opportunity to work at Colchester Farm is particularly interesting because Colchester has been designated a Maryland Century Farm. This means that not only am I gaining valuable farming experience, I get to help ensure the continuation of farming on the property.
"To receive this designation, at least one descendant of the pre-1884 owners must still live on and/or farm the property; the farm must retain ten of its original acres and the property must turn a profit of at least $2,500.00," (Kent County Office of Tourism Development, Farms & Country Tour Brochure).
