Description
Appleton Farms in Hamilton and Ipswich is one of the oldest continuously operating farms in the United States, with a vegetable CSA as well as a working dairy farm with milk and cheese for sale at our dairy store, and a beef cattle operation. Established in 1638 by a land grant to Samuel Appleton, it is the oldest working farm in Massachusetts. The farm preserves a bucolic, pastoral landscape, agricultural traditions, and historic farm buildings that are rapidly disappearing in the eastern part of the state. Community Supported Agriculture To connect people with the land and provide greater access to local food, a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program was established in 2002. CSA members buy shares, joining in the risks and rewards of farming, and receive a rich bounty of fresh produce, flowers, herbs and other farm products. Today, we grow 625 shares and are currently offering shares to our waitlist for the 2019 season.
