About the Farm

Background

Located on the road to Crane Beach, this farm has transformed an 18th-century barn into a bustling hub of agricultural and culinary activity. Known for its abundant fruit selection and Pick-Your-Own experiences, it has become a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike. The farm's scratch bakery, famous for its homemade cider donuts and pies crafted from original family recipes, adds a nostalgic touch to its offerings.

Practices

The farm emphasizes natural growing methods, cultivating vegetables and herbs in both greenhouses and gardens. Their commitment to fresh, farm-to-table produce is evident in the daily harvests of all-natural veggies and the creation of farm-fresh salsas, pestos, and spreads. The interconnectedness of their farming practices is showcased through their use of homegrown produce in their bakery and winery, ensuring a closed-loop system that benefits both the land and the community.

The Rest

Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, from apple picking with hayrides in the fall to exploring the educational fruit garden. The farm also features an animal barn and a pond, enhancing the overall experience. Open from May to November, Tuesday through Sunday, the farm offers a unique blend of agricultural and culinary delights, including their own fruit wines and gourmet specialties. Their store is stocked with zero food mile produce, ensuring the freshest possible ingredients for their customers.
