In the theme of preservation, Waters Farm is the recipient of a beautiful live-edged table from a two centuries old Sycamore tree. This table and five others, including one given to the Town of Sutton, were crafted from a heritage tree that was designated for preservation, requiring a redesign for the new Unified campus egress. When a neighboring Sycamore collapsed on two vehicles, the town re-examined the remaining trees and designated them as dangerous.
Due to the commitment and stewardship of the team at Unified, a millwright was hired to salvage and repurpose the majority of the tree. The process required months of drying and milling with pain-taking hands-on craftsmanship.
Unified is one of Sutton’s great corporate citizens and is an asset to town, employing more than 1,000 people and truly setting the standard for innovation and safety. Waters Farm is so grateful to be honored with this piece of Sutton history.
A very special thank you to Art & Lori Mahassel and to Alec McAleer.
