	Benfield Farms The Town of Carlisle, a small CPA community in northeastern Massachusetts, is nearly finished with the planning for NOAH Benfield Farms, an exemplary ground-lease, mixed-use CPA project. The 45-acre site has benefitted from Carlisle’s dedication to the holistic planning of the land, and the creation of separate restrictions for each use.
