FRAMINGHAM - Stearns Farm has continued to make progress on the installation of a new well at the site.

The farm began the process back in April, as they worked alongside the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to scout the proper site for a well.

Since then, the farm has secured $14,000 in funding for the project as the NRCS has designed a well and pipeline. The pitch features a 17-foot well and pump, along with over 500 feet of buried pipes that stretch across the farm as well as additional tubing for blueberry irrigation.

Pending a review of potential historical artifacts on the site, the farm will be permitted to safely dig. From there, the Framingham Conservation Commission will need to approve of the well plan. A public meeting in October will determine if the farm is permitted to move forward with the installation.
