This working farm was conserved in 2004 through funding from the Land for Maine’s Future program and the Farmland Ranch Protection Program. In 2007 and 2010 the landowners, Bob and Ella Mae Packard, generously donated two additional agricultural conservation easements to the Androscoggin Land Trust, bringing the total conserved acreage of this farm to approximately 400 acres. Approximately 30-acres of this farm is leased to Cultivating Community, which works with refugee and immigrant farmers, including Fresh Start Farm. The farm remains privately owned and operated by the Packard–Littlefield Family. Access to the land is by landowner permission only.
