Lachat Town Farm
The Lachat Farm at the Juliana Lachat Preserve
Lachat Town Farm is a community-supported initiative. Since the farm is not supported by the town's budget, the non-profit, Friends of Lachat, runs programs at the farm that finance its operation. In 1997, the late Leon Lachat deeded his 42-acre working farm on Godfrey Road West to the town of Weston and the Nature Conservancy. Lachat dedicated the property for public and educational use that emphasizes Weston's agricultural roots and spiritual refreshment.. Through a dual lease agreement in 2011, the Conservancy oversees the wooded area next to its Devil's Den Preserve and the town leases the front meadow portion of the property, including the historic 1770s farmhouse and dairy barn. The farm offers a community garden, classes for all ages, farmers markets, and musical and theatrical events.
