Nonquit Pond Farmland Project

The Tiverton Land Trust has a rare opportunity to preserve 30 acres of farmland on Nonquit Pond in perpetuity by acquiring agricultural easements on two adjacent farms that have has been farmed continuously for over 250 years.

Acquiring the easement.

 

It all begins with a relationship. Arrowhead & Ground Movement Farms first came to the attention of the Tiverton Land Trust through the family of David & Merideth Brower. The family recognized what a treasure the Noquit Pond Farmland could be if preserved as farmland and wanted to prevent development. Seeing the opportunity to connect the property with the other protected lands on Nonquit Pond, Land Trust staff stayed in touch with the family over the years.
