The easement, which is now held by Cape Elizabeth Land Trust, will ensure that the 76-acre farm property will remain available for agriculture in perpetuity. Maxwell Farm-Dyer Field is one of the few remaining farms in the town of Cape Elizabeth, and is now the largest, permanently preserved farm parcel closest to Portland.
