Ricketson Farm
The 217-acre Ricketson Farm is one of Stowe’s most prominent and productive farmsteads. A conservation easement protects 115 acres of rich, tillable soil for future farm enterprises. The site of a former dairy operation, the land is currently worked for several agricultural purposes. The northern, forested section of the property contains a rare peat bog and is part of a regionally-important wetland complex. Combined with adjacent properties already conserved, the Ricketson Farm is part of a 450-acre block of protected farmland that forms the northern scenic gateway to Stowe along Route 100.
Directions
From the intersection of Routes 108 and 100 in Stowe village, travel north on Route 100 for 2.7 miles. The Ricketson Farm will be on your left.
