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.
âAssuming 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,â said Jesse Hursh. âThe location is ideal for expanding our retail sales of produce, fruits and dairy products.â
