It was announced on Tuesday that John Hornstra, of Hornstra Farms in Norwell, purchased Peaceful Meadows in Whitman.
The winning bid was $1.75 million but Hornstra told the South Shore’s Morning News that won’t be the last of the expenses.
Hornstra says it will also be a while until it is fully operational.
Hornstra also says that he hopes to put a restriction in place that would only allow the land to be used for agricultural purposes.
