One of Maine’s few certified organic cranberry farms has new owners Tracyn Thayer and Stephen Leen excited for what comes next. The couple heard the 16-acre farm was for sale Dec. 23 and three days later looked it over and made an offer to the Woodward family of Massachusetts. The Woodwards had owned it from the 1990s and decided to clear land for a bog to grow cranberries in. They were particularly interested in selling to someone who planned to continue to use the bog. Despite having no experience with cranberry farming, Thayer and Leen were ready for the challenge.
