ROCHESTER The Rochester Land Trust is partnering with the Buzzards Bay Coalition to buy and protect the Doggett Brook Farm.
The property was previously a hotpoint of contention between owner Craig Canning and neighbors. Canning had intended to set up a farmer s market at the site. Neighbors contested the plans, stating that what Canning had proposed wasn t actually agricultural at all, but an industrial facility in disguise.
The Land Trust and Buzzards Bay Coalition plan to sell the property after protecting it with a conservation restriction.
The trust and coalition expect to sell the property at a loss, to someone who wants to buy a property with the understanding that it will be legally required to be preserved, but will be mostly usable as agriculture, minus a buffer for the waterway at the back.
