New Lewes preserve highlights Sussex approach to open space

A flock of geese pecked through rows of cut corn last week at Sussex County’s newest preserved property, a quiet scene set within one of the region’s fastest-growing areas. Set back from Route 1, the farm is far enough away that the sound of passing traffic fades. Trees line the property, partially screening it from nearby townhomes. “We sometimes call this ‘The Hidden Farm,’ because people don’t know about it,” Bluhm said.
