Macon County

Owner Ed Haight donated a conservation easement on his “Tessentee Bend” property to Mainspring in 2010.  The property has 4,500 feet of streams including frontage on Tessentee Creek and Buckeye Branch. With almost 11 acres of farmland, the owner currently has a vineyard, blueberry farm and beekeeping operation. In addition to the prime soil and water, the forested section of the land includes a diversity of forest plants, which offer a variety of habitat wildlife.
