One day while biking south of Rochester my husband and I stopped to meet Sharon Baldwin, a farmer who tends some twenty sheep on a beautiful stretch of pasture with an old barn.

Sharon lives just down the road from a farm that was sold to developers, and she notes that it’s only a matter of time before the land where her sheep graze will be sold, too. It is just too expensive to farm nowadays, she laments.
