August recorded real estate transfers in Goshen

GOSHEN — Goshen’s real estate market in August was lively in part due to six purchases in Woodridge Lake and two lots in the Meadow Crest subdivision. The largest sale this month was $2,450,000 for three adjacent parcels constituting Sunset Meadows Vineyard while the smallest was $12,000 for a campsite at Hemlock Camp Resort. There’s something for everyone in Goshen with homes selling across a wide range of price points. The current median price for a single-family home in Goshen is $640,000, the highest in twenty years with the upward trend following the general market in Connecticut.

Inventory is being snapped up in Goshen with only 19 properties on the market — only 8 of them are single family homes while 10 vacant building lots are listed.

CANAAN — Fans of the television show “Shark Tank,” stay tuned. On Friday, April 4, Amanda Freund of East Canaan will be facing the panel, imploring members to invest in her unique product: cow poop.

Freund and her father Matthew Freund produce and market CowPots, which are made from the abundance of manure found on their dairy farm. Matthew Freund, realizing cows were producing more manure — 100 pounds per cow per day — than was needed for fertilizing fields for crops, came up with the concept of the pots. Years of trial-and-error experimentation finally resulted in success. In 2006 he began selling the biodegradable pots using 100% composted manure to local stores. Now the pots can be found in outlets across the country, as well as internationally.
