“ Farming has been an integral part of Little Compton’ s identity for 350 years, so preserving farmland has always been a given. The tricky bit has become preserving the farming that farmland requires and ensuring a pipeline of nextgeneration farmers who can afford to live here and continue an authentic agricultural presence in town.”
