Since 1978, under the diligent oversight of Judy Gillan, NESFI has leased the property known as Lampson Brook Farm from the State of Massachusetts. It was Judy's wish to see the property permanently protected as an agricultural and natural resource for all. In 2021, legislation was passed to transition the property to permanent protection. More information can be found by searching mass.gov [1] lampson brook farm. NESFI looks forward to continuing it's mission of promoting sustainable agriculture.

A legacy that will not be forgotten!
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing (24 May 2020) of Judith Gillan, founder of the New England Small Farm Institute. Judy was instrumental in creating, encouraging and maintaining the dreams of many farmers here at NESFI's Lampson Brook Farm Agricultural Reserve and her legacy will not be forgotten.
