Maxwell Farm, 76 acres stretching between Sawyer and Spurwink roads, will be conserved in perpetuity under a pending agreement negotiated and funded by the Maine Farmland Trust and the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust. It’s a deal that will prevent the property from being sold amid growing pressure for residential development in an affluent seaside community, and it will preserve farmland at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for local sustainable food sources.
