Family farm since 1743 growing fruits and vegetables for our local community
We grow a wide variety of fruits and vegetables including strawberries, peas, corn, potatoes, tomatoes and too many more to list. In the winter and early spring we grow cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuces and other greens either by hydroponics or in hoop-house. We also offer honey, perennials, bedding plants, potted herbs, hanging plants. From our Farm Stand kitchen we have home made bread, chicken pot pies, fruit pies and a whole lot more. We are opened from the middle of April until December 24th. We close for the winter.
We offer CSA shares which can be purchased in the winter for the upcoming summer season.
