 | Foote Farm is about conservation in its truest sense, saving what is of value. The project was conceived by two cousins to conserve the farm of 330 acres that had been owned  by their family for over two hundred years. The idea was to create home sites that represent the best Vermont has to offer, the sale of which would allow the conservation of the open farmland for its agricultural use, preservation of the farm's culturally significant homestead (the yellow Italianate farmhouse on Route 125), and to maintain the land's beauty for everyone.
For many, Foote Farm offers a way back to Vermont. To others it is an introduction to what many feel is the best of Vermont. A carefully planned and controlled residential environment; a wooded, rural setting minutes from Middlebury College... Foote Farm is a unique opportunity for those who are returning to an area they know well, as well as for those discovering for the first time the value of life in Vermont. To retain the quality of life we enjoy here, the development of Vermont real estate must be enacted with the greatest care.
Foote Farm aims to preserve the beauty of its land. Vermont loses its character when it is developed in the easiest and least expensive way possible: breaking up open agricultural land to build homes spaced out close to roadsides, thus significantly and forever changing the landscape. The intent of Foote Farm is to provide the most desirable building sites possible: quiet, mostly screened from the roadside, insulated from neighbors, and surrounded by the beauty of the quiet woods and meadows. A subdivision is far more difficult to develop in this manner, but the result is of infinitely greater value.
