As Julie and Jack now have a combined age of 153, we have been stepping up our concern about future land access on this farm. We are closing in on a Conservation Restriction with Mount Grace Land Trust in Athol geared to prevent housing development and promote farming on our 55 acres here, and are lending 20,000 square feet of vegetable land plus use of our walk-in cooler and water system to Marissa and Drew for their own budding farming operation.
