Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Somerville, MA

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Holbrook

Nihtila Farm is a pick-your-own pumpkin patch on Nihtila Lane in Holbrook, open Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., once the fall crop comes in. It's a one-crop operation — no orchard, no corn maze, just rows of pumpkins and a scale by the gate. Call ahead in early fall to confirm the patch has opened for the season.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cohasset

Holly Hill Farm is a certified organic nonprofit farm in Cohasset that's run educational programs — school field trips, kids' camps, farm-to-table dinners — since 2002. Its farm stand opens Fridays and Saturdays, with online ordering for pickup. The farm is currently raising money through a campaign called Keep Our Farm a Farm to buy the land it has operated on, so its future depends partly on that fundraising.

Norfolk

Jane and Paul's Farm has worked the same 110 acres on Fruit Street since the early 1700s, first under the Fales and Day families and now run by descendants who still raise chickens, rabbits, and goats alongside the crops. Summer brings pick-your-own strawberries and blueberries; corn, tomatoes, and peppers fill the stand through the season. Fall turns the place into an apple-picking, hayride, and corn-maze destination. Open daily, 9am to 5pm.

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.

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.

Cohasset

Not a farm — this is Cohasset ASP's annual fundraiser, where volunteers lay out roughly 3,500 pumpkins across a 60-by-120-foot plot at Wheelwright Park. It's run for over 20 years, open daily through Halloween, with proceeds funding youth volunteer trips to Appalachia for home-repair service work.

Millis

A mixed pick-your-own operation in Millis growing blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries on land farmed since 1693. The 64-acre property doubles as a working sheep farm and partners with community fridges and mutual-aid networks to move food into the local food system.

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.

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.

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.

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.

East Bridgewater

Beaver Brook Farm is on Summer Street in East Bridgewater, part of the working farmland that still holds on in this stretch of Plymouth County. Nothing current online confirms its products or hours.

Mansfield

Flint Farm in Mansfield has worked the same ground since 1868, growing into a farm stand that now sells cut-your-own flowers, pick-your-own vegetables, and pumpkins through the fall, plus Christmas trees and mulch by the yard. An ice cream stand runs alongside the retail side from June through October. It's one of the older continuously operating farms in this part of Bristol County.

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.

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.

Holliston

Highland Farm is on Highland Street in Holliston, a MetroWest town that still keeps working farmland between its ponds and wetlands. No current website or listing confirms what's grown or sold there now.

West Bridgewater

CC Reading Farm is on East Center Street in West Bridgewater, a Plymouth County town with a working farm history along the Town River. No website or independent listing details were found online.

Norwell

A small Norwell grower, in business since 2001, selling blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries alongside a side line of large landscaping trees left over from a previous business. One-employee operation, around $300,000 in annual revenue.

Hanson

Hanson sits deep in Massachusetts cranberry country in Plymouth County, and The Blueberry Farm on West Washington Street grows the crop its name states directly. Season dates and picking hours aren't listed anywhere public.

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

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.

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.

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.

Ipswich

Russell Orchards on Argilla Road in Ipswich runs a working orchard, farm stand, bakery, and winery under one roof. Pick-your-own rotates through the season — blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and currants in summer, apples and cherry tomatoes by late August — while the Donut Hut sells cider donuts alongside wine flights and frozen sangria on weekends. There's a barnyard for kids and a full tasting room for everyone else.

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.

West Newbury

Maple Crest Farm is on Moulton Street in West Newbury, in the same stretch of Essex County orchard country as Long Hill Orchards. No current website or listing confirms what the farm grows or sells.

Scituate

Tree-Berry Farm in Scituate runs two very different seasons under one name — blueberry picking in early summer, then cut-your-own Christmas trees and wreaths from Thanksgiving through December. It's a small operation built around those two windows rather than a year-round farm stand, so hours track tightly with whichever season is active. Check ahead before driving out in the off months.

Holliston

Holliston is a Middlesex County suburb about 25 miles southwest of Boston, and Patt's Blueberries on Gorwin Drive grows the crop right there in its name. Picking hours, pricing, and contact details haven't turned up online.

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.

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.

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.

West Newbury

Long Hill Orchards sits on Route 113 in West Newbury, in the same Merrimack Valley apple country as nearby Maple Crest Farm. Its old web domain no longer resolves, and no listing confirms current varieties or hours.

Franklin

Gianettis' U-Pick Blueberries grows on Union Street in Franklin, one of a handful of working blueberry patches left in the upper Charles River watershed. No current site or listing confirms this season's picking hours.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wrentham

The Big Apple has run as a maple sugarhouse and orchard in Wrentham since 1950, with blueberries opening the pick-your-own season in July ahead of apples in fall. The farm stand sells honey and seasonal vegetables alongside bakery goods and ice cream, and the sugarhouse itself runs a separate season each late winter. Parking's on site, and the picking calendar shifts week to week with the weather.
