Bouchard Farm & Landmark Meadow
Bouchard Farm (266 acres total; of which 180 acres are protected under a conservation easement) and Landmark Meadow (16.1 conserved acres) provide stunning open views of Mount Mansfield from the adjacent Stowe Recreation Path and the Mountain Road. Separate conservation easements cover each property, conserving productive agricultural and wood lands, wildlife habitats, non-commercial recreational opportunities and activities, and other natural resource and scenic values. Of Bouchard's 180 conserved acres, 125 are tillable lands of prime or statewide significant soils.
Bucolic scenes of pastured cows and open meadows against the backdrop of Mount Mansfield can be enjoyed while biking, skiing or walking the Stowe Recreation Path, which winds along the east side of the Bouchard Farm.
