Country’s Oldest Farm For Sale
Written by Pat's Papers | Tuesday, 27 July 2010 7:09 AM
For 378 years, it’s been passed down from generation to generation. Until now. The Boston Globe says the country’s oldest working family farm is up for sale in New Hampshire. Tuttle Farms’ current owner says he hasn’t turned a profit since the recession. The farm was founded by an English settler named John Tuttle who came to possess the farm after receiving a land grant from King Charles II. It has been worked and owned by the Tuttle family ever since. According to federal estimates, 41 million acres of American farmland have been lost since 1982.
