“Strawberry Pick Your Own Starts June 14 – call for conditions”

ABOUT OUR FARM & WHAT'S NEW

C.N. Smith Farm, located in the town of East Bridgewater, Massachusetts,
has been a family owned and operated farm for over 80 years.  We are the third
generation of farmers carrying on the tradition of providing fresh, local fruit and
produce while maintaining open space and farmland in our community.
Your support is invaluable!

The farm was originally started as a potato farm in the 1920's by Carl Smith on
20 acres.  Numerous changes over the years included the addition of livestock and poultry. 
In the late 1950's our father, Carlton Smith, a graduate of Stockbridge School of Agriculture,
decided to take a different direction by raising strawberries and plants for wholesale and
pick your own.  Some eighty years later, the latest generation of Smiths is continuing the
family business on 90+ acres of fruit and vegetable crops.  In addition to our pick your own
apples and berries, we cultivate and harvest our own tomatoes, asparagus, lettuce, corn,
peaches, plums, nectarines, pears, etc.  We encourage you to see and taste first hand
the fruits of our labor in the hopes that everyone can enjoy the experiences of visiting
the fast disappearing American family farm..

 Grower’s updates

Update for Spring 2008.  There’s lots happening at the farm!  While the store was closed over the winter, we renovated our produce retail area with all new display coolers and expanded the overall room size.  Also, an entirely new cold storage bay is being constructed to keep our harvested crops as fresh as possible for our customers.  We think you’ll enjoy the larger space and new look to our produce area.  See the farm stand page for more information and pictures as soon it’s finished! 

In addition to the store renovations, the new animal viewing area is finished.  The kids really enjoy the goats, chickens, turkeys and other small animals.  Please note that the animal viewing area is open during store hours only. 

The growing season appears to be on track weather-wise.  Fruit tree pruning wrapped up in March and new trees were planted in April.  Be sure to visit the pick your own page for more details.  New flowers and vegetable plants are popping up in the greenhouses – a sure sign warmer weather is finally here.  We hope to see you soon. 

Please keep in mind when visiting that C.N. Smith Farm is a privately owned working farm.  Visitors are kindly asked to remain in designated customer areas, observe warning signs and stay clear of parked or operating equipment for obvious safety reasons.  Also, to help us keep costs down and maintain cleanliness, please place trash in proper receptacles or take it home with you.  For health code reasons, please leave your pets at home.  Your cooperation is appreciated so that everyone may enjoy the open space and fresh locally grown produce we cultivate.
