Present day production offers the best of a New England farm, with a retail stand offering a diversified selection of fruits and vegetables all grown on sight. Our 200 acre farm is not just a place to shop. It is local, healthy and fresh and comes with a commitment towards the highest quality produce.

Kristin’s lavender contains no pesticides nor chemicals.  So they are edible!  She diligently and delicately cares for her lavender.  At harvest time, she gathers them in bunches and hangs them to dry.  Walking into her shop fills the visitor with the wonderful, calming fragrance of lavender.
