Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Billerica, MA

Tewksbury

Nearly 80 years in, Krochmal Farms runs pigs and cattle alongside a large-scale agricultural compost operation, then turns the same ground over to families every fall for a pumpkin patch, corn maze, hayrides, and pony rides. The farm also runs a separate compost and loam yard elsewhere in Tewksbury.

Dracut

Farmer Dave's runs a CSA out of its Dracut farm stand, offering Spring, Vegetable, Fruit, Late Fall, Deep Winter, and Bakery shares alongside raw honey and scratch-made baked goods sold at retail. A second stand operates in nearby Tewksbury. The Dracut location is open daily, and the farm office handles CSA questions Monday through Friday, 9am to 6pm.

Woburn

Acacia Grove Honey Farm keeps hives on Salem Court Extension in Woburn, listed among the region's small honey producers. No current product list, hours, or contact details are published online.

Concord

Silferleaf Farm in Concord grows one crop — certified organic red raspberries — and opens to pickers only during raspberry season, closing the rest of the year. It's a small, single-purpose operation on Strawberry Hill Road, the kind of farm built around doing one thing well rather than stretching into pumpkins, trees, or a corn maze. Call ahead; the season window is short and weather-dependent.

Dracut

Brox Farm sits on Broadway Road in Dracut, a Merrimack Valley town on the New Hampshire border. No hours or product details are posted anywhere public, so a phone call ahead is the safer plan than a drive-by visit.

North Andover

K&M Farm sits on Waverly Road in North Andover, listed among the area's small agritourism stops. No current website, hours, or product details are published — worth a call before visiting.

Waltham

Honors Farm Stand runs out of Gore Street in Waltham, one of the few working farm stands left inside Middlesex County's inner suburbs. No current website or listing confirms what's sold there now.

Littleton

Pickard Farm in Littleton is a fall-only pumpkin operation — patch, farm store, and pick-your-own, open weekends 10 to 6 and weekday afternoons 3 to 5 through September and October. Parking is limited, so weekday visits beat weekend crowds if the schedule allows. Outside pumpkin season, the farm stays quiet.

Harvard

Westward Orchards in Harvard runs a farm stand and pick-your-own operation through the whole season — strawberries and blueberries opening things up in June, apples and a pumpkin patch carrying through October. The farm also runs a CSA share program for customers who want produce delivered on a schedule rather than picked by hand. Vegetables round out the stand between fruit seasons.

North Andover

Barker's Farm Stand operates on Osgood Street in North Andover, listed as a seasonal farm stand and agritourism stop. Hours and current offerings aren't published online, so it's worth calling ahead or checking in person.

North Andover

North Andover's Merrimack Valley still holds pockets of open farmland between its suburban subdivisions, and Leonhard & Eldred Farm on Dale Street is one of them. It's listed as agritourism; call ahead to confirm what's open before visiting, since no hours are posted publicly.

Tyngsboro

The Colony occupies land in Tyngsboro that the Thompson family farmed in the early 1700s, though today it houses Carlisle Honey, New England Beekeeping Supplies, and Honeybound Meadery rather than row crops. The business manages more than 1,000 hives, sells bee packages and beekeeping equipment to hobbyists, bottles raw unfiltered honey by variety, and crafts mead from its own harvest. It moved into its current facility in 2017.

Haverhill

Rogers Spring Hill Farm has grown strawberries on Neck Road in Haverhill since 1902, running a pick-your-own patch each June alongside what's now a full garden center. The picking side stays low-key — no corn maze, no festival midway, just rows of berries and a fair price per quart. The strawberry window is short, so call before making the drive once June arrives.

Middleton

Working since 1695, making it one of the oldest farms in the country, Richardson's still milks its own cows and turns that milk into ice cream made on site. The Middleton property adds a dining room, outdoor patio, pick-your-own seasonal crops, and an adjacent mini golf and driving range.

Dunstable

McLoon Farms has grown organic strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries at the corner of Route 113 and Thorndike Street since 1995. Picking is pick-your-own and seasonal, following whichever berry is ripening — strawberries open the season, brambles carry it into late summer. It's a small, family-run operation rather than a destination farm with a gift shop or café, so call ahead to check what's ready before making the drive.

Windham

Johnson's Highland View Farm is on Range Road in Windham, a Rockingham County town in southern New Hampshire. It is listed as an agritourism farm. Specific crops, pick-your-own offerings, or contact details were not confirmed online at the time of writing.

Haverhill

Crescent Farm on Willow Avenue mixes a working farmstand with an anaerobic digester that turns food waste into more than 8,000 megawatt-hours of renewable energy a year, credited back to Haverhill's schools and public buildings through net metering. Visitors come for the ice cream, farm animals, spring and summer tours, fall pumpkin picking, hayrides, and a corn maze. It's agritourism built on top of a genuine energy project.

Boxford

Ingaldsby Farm is on Washington Street in Boxford, in the Essex County farmland bordering Georgetown-Rowley State Forest. No current website or listing confirms what the farm grows or sells.

Sudbury

Blue Meadow Farm is a full-service equestrian center on 27 acres in Sudbury, offering boarding, lessons, and training rather than produce. The barn holds 24 matted stalls plus indoor and outdoor riding arenas, built in 2011.

Windham

Apple Acres is an orchard operation on Searles Road in Windham, in southern Rockingham County near the Massachusetts line. The name points to apples, a crop this corner of New Hampshire grows well, though the farm keeps little presence online. Call ahead to confirm pick-your-own dates and what's ripe before visiting.

Stow

Carver Hill Orchard grows blueberries, peaches, and apples on Brookside Avenue in Stow, with cider donuts drawing as much of a following as the fruit itself. It's open Tuesday through Sunday during the summer season, 9am to 5pm, with picking hours shifting as each crop comes ready. Call ahead for what's currently ripe before making the drive.

Stow

Known locally as Derby Ridge Farm, this fifth-generation Stow orchard grows more than 30 varieties of apples plus peaches and pears across 75-plus acres, and presses its own unpasteurized cider. Pumpkins and Christmas trees fill out the fall and winter seasons, with honey and jam stocked at the farm stand.

Stow

Applefield Farm started in 1981 when Steve and Kirsten Mong took over a small apple orchard on Great Road; four decades later it's a three-season vegetable operation supplying its own farmstand along with local restaurants and retailers. The stand runs mid-April through October 31, with produce grown on-site rather than trucked in. Hours shift by season — call ahead before a special trip.

Topsfield

Connemara House Farm has grown apples, peaches, and Asian pears across 1,200 trees on 36 acres since 1981, on land that was once part of a dairy operation and now carries an Irish name honoring the family's farming heritage. Pick-your-own runs through the fall on stone-walled grounds that also host weddings and corporate events. The orchard and the event venue share the same acreage, not two separate operations.

Stow

A four-season, certified-organic vegetable and flower farm in Stow working 3 to 4 of its 20 acres, with the rest kept as conservation land. Elena Coleman and Karl Goethert sell through a year-round farm stand, CSA, farmers markets, and wholesale, and welcome visitors to a pick-your-own flower garden and public trail.

South Natick

Lookout Farm has worked this land in South Natick since 1651, making it one of the oldest continuously farmed properties in Massachusetts. Today it runs a year-round taproom serving farm-to-table barbecue, pick-your-own peaches and apples in season, a corn maze, and a tractor play area for kids. The farm also books weddings and private events and hosts live music and trivia nights on weekends.

Topsfield

Natural Way Farm is a small artisan operation on Hill Street in Topsfield, open by appointment for U-pick blueberries and a shop stocked with honey, eggs, and vegetables like arugula, Chinese greens, kale, and hot peppers. It's one of several working farms still active in Topsfield's agricultural core.

Stow

Honeypot Hill Orchard is on Sudbury Road in Stow, in the apple country that runs through Bolton and Harvard along Route 117. The orchard's own website returned no content, and no independent listing confirms current hours or varieties.

Groton

Autumn Hills Orchard has been family-run since 1945, and the orchard now carries more than 25 apple varieties alongside peaches, pears, plums, and newer raspberry and blueberry plantings. It's a fruit farm first — no corn maze or petting zoo — open Wednesday through Sunday, 10am to 4pm. The orchard posts picking updates on Instagram and Facebook through the season.

Sherborn

Sunshine Farm in Sherborn runs pick-your-own through the whole growing season — strawberries in June, blueberries in July, peaches trailing behind, apples from September into November. Blueberry picking currently runs daily from 9 a.m. until the rows are picked clean, sometimes well before noon. A farm store and bakery sit on site, and ice cream service starts up each fall, running noon to 8 p.m. daily.

Nashua

Fright Kingdom is a haunted-house attraction at 12 Simon Street in Nashua, running five indoor haunts under one roof, among them Z-Apocalypse, Blood Mare, Psycho, Grim, and Abandoned. It bills itself as one of New England's scariest haunts and opens for the Halloween season, with tickets sold online. This is an indoor entertainment venue rather than a working farm.

Sherborn

Dowse Orchards has grown apples, vegetables, and flowers on the same Sherborn land for 200 years, making it one of Massachusetts's certified Century Farms. The roadside stand, running for more than 60 years, stocks over 20 apple varieties — McIntosh, Cortland, and Macoun among the favorites — plus fresh-pressed cider, maple syrup, and preserves. Spring greenhouses supply perennials and flowers; December brings cut-your-own Christmas trees. Open Monday through Saturday, 9am to 6pm.

Sherborn

Sherborn has kept more open land than most Middlesex County towns this close to Boston, and Spence Hill Farm on Coolidge Street is one of the properties holding that line. Beyond its agritourism listing, nothing further about the farm has surfaced publicly.

Harvard

Carlson Orchards has grown apples on this Harvard property since 1936, and the family operation now runs a hard cider taproom alongside its farm stand, pouring the full current lineup of Carlson-made ciders. It's a working orchard first, with the taproom giving visitors a reason to stick around after the apple bags are packed. The farm store stays open through the harvest season, with cider and fresh fruit sold daily.

Haverhill

Turkey Hill Farm in Haverhill spreads its pick-your-own crops across the whole growing season — raspberries, blueberries, and lavender through summer, blackberries and cut flowers bookending the shoulder seasons, apples and sunflowers by fall. The farm shop sells cider donuts alongside whatever's coming out of the fields that week. It's a working multi-crop operation, not a one-weekend festival stop.

Harvard

Doe Orchards farms 60 acres in Harvard growing apples, blueberries, vegetables, sunflowers, and Christmas trees, with pick-your-own and a farm stand as the main draw — no admission charge, no extra fees for wandering the rows. Current summer hours run Tuesday through Saturday, 9am to 4pm, with raspberries and blueberries ready for picking as of this season.

Dunstable

Patenaude Farm sits on River Street in Dunstable, listed as a working farm stand serving the town's stretch of the Nashua River valley. Details are thin online — no working farm website turned up in research — so the most reliable way to check current hours or what's available is a direct call to the farm.

Plaistow

A greenhouse grower on Newton Road in Plaistow specializing in flowers and bedding plants, and going on more than 50 years in business. Beyond finished plants, they offer pick-your-own flowers in season. The greenhouses open 9am to 6pm most days, with a later 3pm start on Tuesdays. Richard Goudreault runs the operation.

Londonderry

Mack's Apples runs an apple orchard and farm market on Mammoth Road in Londonderry, in southern New Hampshire's Merrimack Valley, with pick-your-own apples in the fall. Its website was unreachable to confirm current hours and products, so check directly before visiting.

Bolton

Bolton Spring Farm covers 150 acres on Main Street in Bolton, land that started as a dairy in the early 1800s before Howard Stephenson planted it as an apple and fruit orchard in 1937. The roadside stand, running since 1965, sells more than 25 apple varieties plus peaches, corn, pumpkins, baked goods, and cut-your-own Christmas trees. Pick-your-own apples run in season. Cash only — there's an ATM on site.

Londonderry

Sunnycrest Farm on High Range Road in Londonderry sells fresh fruit, baked goods and its own ice cream, with pick-your-own blueberries, raspberries and apricots in season. The farm market also carries vegetables, milk, honey, jams, maple syrup and New Hampshire-made goods. The ice cream shop stays open into the evening, and a hotline lists current pick-your-own conditions.

Harvard

Hammerhead Farm sits on Westcott Road in Harvard, the same stretch that runs through the town's cluster of blueberry and apple growers in the Nashoba Valley. No separate website or listing distinguishes this farm's specific offerings yet.

Sherborn

Kidstopia Blueberry Farm is on Western Avenue in Sherborn, a MetroWest town that still keeps a few working blueberry fields west of the Charles River. No current website or listing confirms this season's picking hours.

Londonderry

Elwood Orchards, a family-owned orchard on Elwood Road in Londonderry, has closed permanently, according to its own website. The listing here reflects the former pick-your-own farm in southern New Hampshire's Merrimack Valley. Other Londonderry orchards nearby still run seasonal apple picking for anyone in the area.

Harvard

Harvard, Massachusetts has been blueberry and apple country for generations, and Hazel U-Pick on Westcott Road carries the pick-your-own tag to prove it. Current crops, pricing, and season dates aren't posted online.

Georgetown

Morehouse's Wheeler Brook Farm sits on Jewett Street in Georgetown, in the Essex County farmland along the Parker River watershed. No independent site or listing was found to confirm what it grows or sells now.

Beverly

Green Beverly turns Moraine Farm into a pumpkin-smashing field day each November — neighbors haul in leftover jack-o'-lanterns and Halloween pumpkins and launch them across the lawn, then the whole pile gets composted instead of landfilled. The free event runs late morning into early afternoon with a live bluegrass band, lawn games, food vendors, and a raffle. Adults must register in advance; parking is off-site with a shuttle.

Haverhill

Kimball Farm in Haverhill has stayed in the Kimball family since 1820, now run by ninth-generation farmer Tyler Kimball. The dairy operation shut down in 1977; today the farm sells grass-fed beef, pork, eggs, and maple syrup, runs a USDA-certified composting facility, and keeps goats, sheep, alpacas, and Belgian work horses for visitors to meet. The corn maze, running since 2007, is the main fall draw.

Haverhill

Fay Farm sits on Amesbury Line Road in Haverhill, right against the New Hampshire border in Merrimack Valley farm country. No working website or current listing turned up to confirm what's grown there today.

Salem

Not a farm — this is Salem's month-long Halloween festival, running since 1982 and now drawing over a million visitors for parades, walking tours, museum events, and vendor fairs across the city each October.

Salem

Beverly Bees Store occupies a storefront unit at 24 New Derby Street on Salem's North Shore. The name points to honey and bee products rather than a working farm field, but no hours or contact information are publicly listed.

Litchfield

Wilson Farm has grown produce since 1884 and works its New Hampshire fields on Charles Bancroft Highway in Litchfield, along the Merrimack River. Much of the sweet corn, tomatoes, and vegetables raised here supplies the family's markets. The Litchfield acreage is primarily growing fields rather than a year-round retail store; the flagship farm market is over the state line in Lexington, Massachusetts.

Litchfield

Durocher Farm ran pick-your-own blueberries in Litchfield, along Charles Bancroft Highway beside the Merrimack River, for close to 40 years. The family closed the business permanently in June 2021, so the fields are no longer open for picking. Nearby Litchfield still has active farm stands and sweet corn along Route 3A for anyone looking for local produce in the area.

South Hamilton

Green Meadow Farms sits on Asbury Street in South Hamilton, in the horse country north of Boston around Myopia Hunt Club and Bradley Palmer State Park. No current website or listing confirms how the property operates today.

Hampstead

Chisholm Farm is on Main Street in Hampstead, a southern Rockingham County town near Derry and Plaistow. Listed as an agritourism farm, it shares little online. Call ahead to learn what it sells and when it's open.

hollis

Fulchino Vineyard makes American wines with an Italian accent on Pine Hill Road in Hollis, in southern New Hampshire. Tastings come with salami, prosciutto, artisan cheese, bread, and dipping oil, served indoors or out on the patios. The estate also runs an on-site restaurant, Cucina di Mirabella, plus a wine club and space for private functions and tour groups.

Canton

Pakeen Farm in Canton has been in the same family since 1899, and 150 of its acres are permanently protected under a 1994 conservation restriction with the Trustees of Reservations. The farm added Christmas trees in 1993, a CSA in 2009, and a fall harvest season — pumpkins, apples, hot cider, mini donuts — starting in 2012. It's a working farm first; the retail side grew up around it slowly, one decade at a time.

Hollis

Hollis

The Dark Crop is the fall haunted corn maze at Lavoie's Farm, a working Hollis farm on Nartoff Road that grows strawberries, blueberries, apples, and pumpkins. The farm stand runs early June through December 1, open daily 8am to 7pm, and Lavoie's produce also turns up at Nashua spots like Hayward's Ice Cream and the Big 1. Call 603-882-0072 for maze dates and hours.

Pepperell

Four generations deep on 176 acres, Kimball Fruit Farm opens strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, apples, pumpkins, and flowers to pick-your-own visitors seven days a week from late April through Thanksgiving. Hours run 9am to 6pm, later in summer.
