Property History
In 2007, Mount Grace helped the Rose family place a CR on 103 acres of working woodlands adjacent to their orchards. The remainder of the farm is protected by an Agricultural Preservation Restriction (APR) held by the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources. Bill Rose is a critical advocate for land conservation in and around Phillipston, and has helped Mount Grace develop several successful projects with neighbors near the farm.
