Silver Bell Farm, held back by water rules, seeks well solution - masslive.com

MONSON — Silver Bell Farm is open at Christmas, including a nighttime light show — as its name would suggest — but also hosts a pumpkin harvest, Christmas in July and a visit by the Easter bunny later this month, all geared to families and showcasing the farm’s rural charm.

But that country location — and lack of municipal water — limits owner Michael Moore to opening to the public just 60 days each year, unless he installs a new well that would meet state standards for a public water supply at a cost of more than $150,000.
