Welcome
As many of you know, our farm stand burned down last September. Fortunately, no one was hurt and our fields were not effected.
We are in our temporary stand and kitchen, functioning as usual, while our new building is under construction. We anticipate a Fall completion date. Until then, it's business as usual with useful information posted on our site to keep you informed about what's happening at Verrill Farm.
The Current Events page is updated often and includes many details on events, the local crops in season and what's new from the kitchen. The Events & Festivals page is our monthly calendar for 2009 and the Verrill Farm Blog is a source for brief and timely updates. Please note, we always recommend checking for schedule changes before coming to events.
We are particularly excited about the opening of our new stand and have retained the services of The Office of Michael Rosenfeld, Inc., Architects for the project. Bluefin Building & Design of Littleton, MA is the General Contractor. Below is a rendering of the building.
Our Farm History
Verrill Farm is operated as a partnership between Stephen and Joan Verrill and daughter Jennifer Verrill Faddoul. Our farm consists of about 200 acres in Concord and Sudbury. One hundred acres are prime farmland and 100 acres are wildlife habitats, woodlands, and wetlands. Steve's father and mother moved to Concord in 1918 and started a successful dairy business. In 1957, upon graduation from Cornell University, Steve assumed operation of the farm. In 1982, after years of planning and negotiations, about 200 acres were placed under an Agricultural Preservation Restriction, thus preventing development of this land. This long term commitment gave sharper focus to our agricultural enterprises.
In 1990, the dairy herd was sold and plans began to replace the existing tent retail space with a new farm stand, which was built in 1995. Our location at 11 Wheeler Rd. in  Concord now includes retail space for produce, specialty foods and gifts, and a large kitchen/bakery providing high quality baked goods, entrees, homemade soups, and salads.
Our Mission
To nourish the body and soul of our customers by providing healthful food of superb flavor in surroundings of beauty. Through the use of sound and efficient farming practices, we strive to maintain our land and animals in good health, and provide a good living for our employees and a reasonable return to the owners. |
