Lucy Burch owns the 281-acre Hosley Farm property, located in the Town of Kingsbury. The property serves as support crop land for the livestock operation owned by Lucy and her
husband, Richard, who have been farming their entire lives. Lucy and Richard conserved the home farm late in 2022. The Hosley property is comprised of multiple lots separated by roads, a railroad, and the Old Champlain Canal, and has frontage on the Champlain Canal.
“The Hosley Farm is the second property we’ve conserved with ASA. With the help of the ASA, the third and fourth generations of our family are continuing what my parents started so many decades ago. It's hard to express the depth of our gratitude for ASA for enabling us to conserve the land and make it available for future farmers.”

Funding for the Hosley project was provided by the New York State Environmental Protection Fund through the Dairy Transitions Farmland Protection Initiative administered by the Department of Agriculture and Markets
