Maple Crest Strawberries (June) and Blueberries (July) and Pumpkins (Sept/Oct) are sought after by both area residents and guests from all over New England. We sell berries at The West Newbury Food Mart and Long Hill Farm. We harvest strawberries, blueberries, and pumpkins, and started harvesting honey from our hives in 2024. All are available in our farm stand, as they harvested.
We hope to see you and your family out in the field! Check our Facebook page for updates bring your preferred sunscreen and bug spray. We supply cartons, drinking water and lovely shaded picnic tables for looking over the reservoir when your picking is done! We have a swing set for children to enjoy. |
Maple Crest is devoted to green initiatives. We work hard to avoid chemical treatments.
We used local composting leaves from area towns. to re-build our fields. When the reservoir was built in 1979, much of the high quality topsoil was stripped away from the field next to the reservoir, making it impossible to grow new crops. After over a decade of using natural, composting methods to restore rich topsoil, we are successfully growing trees, sunflowers, strawberries, and pumpkins. |
