Midcoast couple wants to give away 1,200 acres of conserved woodland to new owner

LINCOLN COUNTY NEWS • August 18, 2025

After almost 50 years of farming and forestry, the owners of Hidden Valley Farm in Whitefield are looking for someone new to take over. Bambi Jones and David “Tracy” Moskovitz, owners of the 1,200 acres, said they are looking to either gift the property to an appropriate nonprofit or sell it and donate the proceeds to benefit conservation efforts. The couple has received around about half a dozen proposals, but are still accepting more. They plan to make a decision by this summer. “We’re just really interested in how, especially conservation organizations, can do a more effective job of fulfilling their missions,” Moskovitz said. “We want to help spur that along.”
