Valcour farm conserved in Morristown


The Valcour farm on Randolph Road in Morristown has been conserved and sold to its new owners.
In mid-April, the 175-acre farm was conserved by family members and sold to longtime farmers Jesse and Marlene Hursh with assistance from the Vermont Land Trust and support from Stowe Land Trust.
The Hurshes have rented a dairy farm and operated a popular farmstand off of Stagecoach Road for over 20 years. They will grow corn and cover crops on the new farm, which has excellent agricultural soils. They also plan to use the former Valcour barn for raising young cattle.
“Assuming stewardship of this farm is special to us as we fondly remember Andre Valcour Sr. Andre was a friend and mentor who went out of his way to help us succeed in agriculture,” said Jesse Hursh. “The location is ideal for expanding our retail sales of produce, fruits and dairy products.” ....

As the state aims to have Vermont fully open for business by Independence Day, Stowe is giving local merchants and service providers several more months of relaxed zoning rules as they try to keep customers coming — and safe.
The selectboard last week extended by half a year its interim zoning bylaws, until Nov. 15. The temporary rules were adopted — and renewed three times — in 2020. This is the fourth renewal.
This means Stowe businesses can continue offering outdoor seating, tents, special signs and other things that would normally require town approval without having to go through the zoning process.
The decision extends the allowances even as Gov. Phil Scott’s “Vermont Forward re-opening plan for the state would eliminate COVID-19 restrictions after July 1, “in order to give local businesses the greatest chance to recover economically,” according to Stowe Town Manager Charles Safford. ....
