About the Farm
Background
Grandpa Tom’s Farm Stand was built in the early 1970s by Jeannette and Tom Reading in Pembroke, Massachusetts. After Pete Reading joined his parents post-Army, the business moved to Billingsgate Farm in Plympton in 2001. The farm expanded into agritourism in 2012 with the addition of a corn maze. In 2014, the Readings purchased the 74-acre C&C Reading Farm, formerly Hayward Dairy Farm, in West Bridgewater. By 2017, all operations were consolidated at this new location.
Practices
The farm produces over 90% of its own quality produce, grown both organically and traditionally. It was the first in Massachusetts to achieve 100% GAP certification. The farm is a member of The New England Vegetable Growers Association, Farm Bureau, Southeastern Massachusetts Agricultural Partnership, and the Northeast Organic Farming Association.
The Rest
The farm offers a variety of family-friendly activities including hay rides, school tours, grain train rides, and both kiddie and adult corn mazes. Products available include strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, pumpkins, honey, jams, jellies, and eggs. The farm stand is open from May to December, Monday to Friday 10:00 am - 6:30 pm, and Saturday and Sunday 9:00 am - 6:30 pm.
