At one point or another most other family members have all worked on the farm, and our success can be attributed to their efforts as well. We originally began as a wholesale operation whereby the produce was sold to supermarkets.
In 1972, Four Town Farm started a retail operation, or a “farm stand” where we began selling directly to the public. Today, that farm stand is the primary outlet for all that we grow.
For the month of October we give educational farm tours to school children. The first part of the tour takes the children on a tractor ride around part of the farm and to the carrot greenhouse. In the carrot greenhouse the kids learn how carrots are harvested, washed, bagged, and shipped to market. The children will take part in this and make a bag of carrots all their own.
A walking tour comes next. Here the children learn about different vegetables and how they grow. Finally, the children can go through a small corn maize to the pumpkin patch where they can select a sugar pumpkin to take home with them.
Appointments for tours begin September 1st and are on a first come first serve basis. Note: the earlier you come in October the more there is to see. For booking information contact us or call Lynne @ 508-336-9740.
