Appleton Farms

Appleton Farms in Ipswich, Essex County, United States | Farm

Established in 1638 as a land grant to Samuel Appleton, Appleton Farms is one of the oldest continuously operating Farms in the United States. Scenic views of rolling grasslands, grazing livestock, ancient stone walls, tree-lined carriage paths, and historic Farm buildings are all part of the legacy of nine generations of Appleton family members kept alive through the work of The Trustees of Reservations.
Today, The Trustees is continuing the Farm's progressive agricultural traditions while at the same time preserving the property's landscape and Farm buildings and enhancing the ecological values of its woodlands, wetlands, and fields, such as the 133-acre Great Pasture which supports one of the largest populations of rare grassland birds in Massachusetts.
Operations include a community-supported agriculture, a retail feed and mulch haying operation, and livestock and dairy programs that include White Park and Jersey cows.
