The Edges

A profound diversity of life occurs in regions of contrasting biomes. These interfaces share and cycle resources, creating sustainable and useful connections. As the wild and tamed edges grow, so too does the biodiversity and greater land mosaic of Abbott Claim. Ecologists call this the “edge effect”. We call it “the edges”. They frame our landscape and inform our observations of terroir.
