The Osguthorpe farm on Old Ranch Road would make members of that Summit County family rich indeed if they sold the 158-acre tract near Park City to developers, but they would rather keep the Snyderville Basin’s last working historic farm in production.
The wool from Osguthorpe sheep is used to make military dress uniforms. Yet the land that sustains the sheep producing that wool also preserves open space that now helps sustain Park City’s status as a beautiful place to live and visit.
The family has agreed to sell a conservation easement that preserves the property as a working farm, but the clock is ticking to raise the final $600,000 of the nearly $18 million deal.
