Don and Pat Matthews of Montgomery Township, New Jersey have been farming the same land for nearly seven decades. Four generations of the family still live within four miles of the property, which has now been preserved forever thanks to the efforts of D&R Greenway Land Trust working with Montgomery Township, the Matthews, and a local financial adviser.
