Wanna Run An Orchard?

By Sheryl Rich-Kern on Thursday, January 29, 2009.

The town of Hollis is looking for farmers.

A few years ago, the town bought more than 180 acres of apple orchards to preserve from development.

But the farmers who were working the orchard don't want to renew the lease.

So the town is looking for new tenants to harvest the land and preserve the views.

But so far there hasn't been much interest.
