Dear Friend of MCF, Pictured above is the bucolic de Groot farm that will now remain farmland forever thanks to the family's decision to preserve it. This green lush landscape located in Colts Neck has been owned by the de Groot family since 1936. On behalf of the board and staff, we ask you to join us in honoring their dedication to preservation. I invite you to read more about the farm and the family who loves it in our article below. Thank you! Sincerely, William D. Kastning, AICP Executive Director P.S. Tickets for the Holiday Style Luncheon are already on sale. Follow the link at the bottom of this email to get your tickets today.
