The altitude has all the seasons with few snowfalls that are light and the climate includes moderate summers. The hilltop is nestled among other mountains in a beautiful holler where a distant dog barking echoes occasionally through the valley. The soil is very fertile and the trees include tall poplars (an indication of available underground water, ask locals), maple, sour wood trees (source of award winning honey), flowering dogwood trees and wild blueberries, raspberries, grapes. Ginseng will grow well here also and is priced higher than gold when collected and dried.
