Dear Editor: As abutters of Pequitside Farm, we would like to thank all who came to last Monday’s session of Annual Town Meeting to cast their votes to preserve the beauty and tranquility of Pequitside.

We acknowledge that his service to our community has brought both an abundance of economic prosperity to our town as well as helping to maintain a productive way of […]
