There are 31 separate parcels of land that are listed as belonging to Marilyn Farms on the Assessor's page. All told, they own around 560 acres. The average value of farmland in Washington County is $8000 per acre. If each acre sold for the average price, that's almost $4.5 mil. Of course, there are no guarantees that the land would all be valued that high, but there is also the fact that there are dwellings, buildings, utilities, and organic certification on several of the parcels, which could potentially increase the sale price as well.
