Milling Lumber Locally
Kai (above) is self appointed project manager of the milled lumber. This lumber is from Michael and Betsy's managed woodlot and from the border with our neighbor, Lynn. It was milled using a portable bandsaw sawmill owned and operated by our neighbor, Matt Gancz. The portable sawmill was built by a Menonite craftsman in the Midwest.

The pandemic has increased interest in the value of living in community. We have asked Julie Starr, of Maple and Main Realty, to help us manage sales of the building lots.
We recommend that you email us first about the community aspects of living at Stowe Farm, then we will connect you with Julie about purchasing a building lot, or give you information about the house for sale.
Please visit our website, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. Stowe Farm Community is scheduling distanced outside visits and tours. Email us for more information.
