Blue Hill Heritage Trust (BHHT) holds an agricultural easement on the property, protecting the land forever. The MOFGA-certified organic farm is run by three generations of the Birdsall family. Paul Birdsall was a founding member of BHHT and its Farmland Forever program. He placed the 383-acre farm into conservation easement with the Trust in 1997.
The farm tour is free, family-friendly, and open to the public. More BHHT programs are listed on their website, bluehillheritagetrust.org.
The Trust currently owns or holds conservation easements on almost 7,000 acres of land throughout the Blue Hill Peninsula, including about 2,000 acres of farmland.
