Holton Farm

If the John Holton Farm sounds familiar, there’s good reason. Although he worked with The LandTrust back in 2002 to ensure the protection of his farm as a planned conservation gift, in October of this year he decided to make his conservation easement permanent. With this easement, he has forever ensured the preservation of his beautiful 244-acre farm located in the town of Trinity in Randolph County.

This property has significant historical, agricultural, and water quality resources, which all contribute to the conservation values of this easement. This property is located in a rapidly growing area, with a new high school going in across the road from the farm. The preservation of this wonderful property will be a great example to these students and the local community. The farm will forever remain as a beautiful viewshed, a safehaven for wildlife, and a reminder of the agricultural heritage of the area.
