HOLLISTON – Thistle Dew Farm on Highland Street in Holliston has been permanently conserved as farmland, thanks to an Agricultural Preservation Restriction (APR) that has been placed on 28 acres of the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Town of Holliston and Massachusetts\u00a0Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR)\u00a0purchased the APR from longtime owner Charlie Nickerson on October 21.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the terms of the agreement, the land will still be privately owned, but all current and future owners are obligated to keep it as farmland and cannot develop it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holliston\u2019s Outpost Farm had been leasing the land and has now purchased the portion of the farm covered by the APR. Outpost will use the land to expand its farming operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[broadstreet zone=”58610″]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Massachusetts APR program protects productive farmland by offering financial relief to farmers who might otherwise need to sell their property to developers. The landowner can realize a significant financial gain by selling the APR, although the loss of development possibilities lowers the land\u2019s appraised value for future sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With approval from town voters at a Special Town Meeting in October 2019, the Town contributed $500,000 of Community Preservation Act funds toward the $1.1 million purchase price of the APR. MDAR contributed $465,588. The state and the town will co-hold the APR to ensure the land always stays in farming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project also received essential support from Sudbury Valley Trustees (SVT), a regional land trust that protects open space in a 36-community region. SVT raised $150,000 from private individuals to cover the remainder of the purchase price as well as the cost of appraisals, legal fees, and other expenses. Mass Audubon, which owns the adjacent 229-acre Waseeka Wildlife Sanctuary, provided a tremendous boost to SVT\u2019s fundraising by securing a $100,000 contribution from an anonymous donor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[broadstreet zone=”59982″]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to protect this scenic property and preserve the rural nature of Holliston,\u201d said Lixy Carey, Chair of Holliston\u2019s Open Space Committee. \u201cArea residents will continue to enjoy fresh, local produce that is grown on the farm. We greatly appreciate the contributions of the Commonwealth as well as SVT and Mass Audubon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always gratifying to help save a local farm,\u201d added Christa Collins, SVT\u2019s Director of Land Protection. \u201cSmall farms are essential to the character of our communities. They provide fresh, healthy food, contribute to local economies, and offer scenic views along our roadways. We welcome the opportunity to work with any farmer who is interested in the state\u2019s APR program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
