Closed in 2008, the 440-acre Parry Farm is located in the Town of Camden. The farm has been in the Parry family since 1901. Charles and Henry have no children, and they wanted to ensure the farm stay essentially as it is and available for farming. Besides the active farm area, there is a beautiful sugarbush and the woodlands surrounding the farm have been managed with care resulting in magnificent stands of mature northern hardwoods. A portion of the southern boundary of the property is bordered by the Little River and is just upstream from the 130 acre property we protected in the Fall of 2007.
The easement prohibits future development of the property except for farming purposes. There are designated no cut buffers along the river and in wetland areas and limited harvest areas on the rest of the woodlands to maintain the mature condition. Most importantly, it gives Henry and Charles the peace of mind to know that their family farm will always be just that, a farm.
