Another Williston Northampton family is in the Daily Hampshire Gazette!

Richard Thayer, Jr. ’77 P’05 ’08 has conserved 38 acres of farmland off Hocakanum Road in Hadley, parts of which have been in his family since 1747.

According to the article: “Richard Thayer’s father and grandfather raised chickens on the property until the 1950s, providing eggs to local residents and restaurants. More recently the land has been leased to Barstowe_SSRqs Longview Farm, which grows hay and silage corn there…The land now has an Agricultural Preservation Restriction, which commits it to farm use in perpetuity.”
