May 2010 Archives

What a thrill to have so many new farms going strong in our local community. Fresh produce and an opportunity to support local agriculture is truly in the spirit of our blog site.

Langwater is a new farm in Easton, MA opening in Spring 2010. The farmers, Rory, Kevin, Kate, and Alida, are working to create a vibrant community farm that will produce vegetables, fruit, flowers, pumpkins, and more. You will be able to find their produce at a soon to be up and going farm stand on Route 138, by joining their CSA, or at other local farmers markets in the area such as the one sponsored at Sheep Pasture by the NRT.

The farm property located at 492 Bay Road in Easton, Massachusetts has recently been purchased by Sean and Jessica Flynn who have begun operation and renamed the 20 acre property "Flynn's Farm". The new owners will be guided by the expertise of Ross and Susan Henderson- the previous owners of the property.

The farm will sell flowers including typical annuals, perennials, bushes and trees and speciality items like lilies. Other landscaping materials are also available. The farm will sell vegetables and will have a pick your own pumpkin patch later this fall. Future plans also include a pick your own wild flower garden.

The farm will be introducing eggs soon and you should expect to see other animals on the farm in the future.

Hours for the farm are Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sundays 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.  You may visit their website at www.flynnsfarm.com or call 508-238-1600.
