With 269 acres of farmland, coastal saltmarsh, and forest, Schoppee Farm in Machias, ME, has been a farm for close to 200 years. When eighth-generation farmers Ben and Allison Edwards took on the responsibility of continuing the family farm after a two-generation gap, they decided to work with Maine Farmland Trust to build a permanent foundation so that no matter what the future holds for their children and grandchildren, the farm will remain a farm – forever.
