Nestled along the Back Brook tributary of the Neshanic, Ditzel Farm is a 93-acre horse boarding facility that also grows hay and vegetables for sale. The Ditzel Farm is actively involved in 4-H programs and provides a practice space for the Round Valley Riders and Pink Ladies to practice for drill team.

​

Jenelle and Walter Ditzel have been involved in learning about and conserving their natural resources since they purchased the farm in 2000.

​

They began by working with North Jersey Resource Conservation and Development to plant a buffer zone along the Back Brook tributary to protect the water from soil erosion and farm runoff.

​

The planting consisted of 300 trees and shrubs which were provided by the Fish and Wildlife Service and planted by youth volunteers.

​

In addition, the Ditzels have worked with USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service to implement over 40 conservation practices.
