After six generations of family ownership, Holly Hill Farm in Massachusetts has been purchased by Friends of Holly Hill Farm (FHHF) for over $4.9 million, ensuring its future as a working farm and community resource. The nonprofit raised funds to buy the 5.23-acre property from the White family this September 2026, with an additional $1 million coming from the Town of Cohasset's Community Preservation Funds.
A Conservation Restriction has been placed on part of the land that was previously unprotected, jointly held by Wildlands Trust and the Town of Cohasset, permanently preventing future development there. This ensures Holly Hill Farm remains a historic landmark and educational site for all ages. FHHF will now own and operate the farm while continuing to raise funds for improvements, such as enhancing the 1785 barn that houses their year-round farm stand.
