Conservation of farm harbors positive change for community and farmer

While its name may be changing to Stout Oak Farm, the scenic, rolling fields of Creamery Brook Farm in Brentwood will forever remain as open space, protected from subdivision and development, and conserved for agriculture, wildlife, and water quality.

In late January 2012, the Southeast Land Trust of New Hampshire, the Town of Brentwood and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service acquired a conservation easement from the heirs of Lawrence

THANK YOU!

Update as of January 6, 2012:  A huge thank you to hundreds of residents who made gifts to support the conservation of Batchelder Farm!  With these gifts, coupled with grants from the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) and the Fields Pond Foundation, and support from Nextera Energy, we have raised the necessary funds needed to protect this iconic farmland!
