After a year of working on this project, Ramblin’ Vewe Farm has finally entered into a Purchase and Sales Agreement for the 43-acre parcel of land abutting Ramblin’ Vewe Farm to the southeast (see map below).
This land was owned by Dr. Leo and Polly Sanfaçon and over the years they generously allowed Ramblin’ Vewe Farm to make and use trails on their property. To date, there have been approximately three miles of trails constructed and which are being maintained by Ramblin’ Vewe Farm. These trails are used for walking, x-c skiing and mountain biking.
The purchase price for this 43-acre property is $240,000. The Town of Gilford acting, through the Conservation Commission, has agreed to contribute $120,000 from its Conservation Land Fund. Ramblin’ Vewe Farm is conducting a fundraising campaign for the remaining $120,000. Ramblin’ Vewe Farm will contribute up to $55,000 and hopes to raise at least $65,000 of its share of the purchase price through both donations and grants.
