Maple Crest Farm History and Agricultural Benefits
Longer Maple Crest Farm, at 102 Moulton Street, West Newbury, MA, has been in the Elwell family since 1917. The historical farmhouse dates back to 1729.
John and Carol Elwell, retired educators, have always wanted to keep the farm in the family and the family on the farm. To that end, they have invested heavily in keeping the crops thriving and engaging their family nearby.
Maple Crest Farm is located at 102 Moulton Street in West Newbury, MA, overlooking the beautiful Indian Hill Reservoir. Maple Crest's primary crops are strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, & Christmas trees. We added, sunflowers, pumpkins and gourds in 2020.
Cutting your own Christmas Tree has environmental benefits!
We replace every tree sold with at least two new trees, which reduces pollution and provides a habitat for wildlife. We plant approximately 1,000 seedling trees annually, which will take 8 -12 years to develop to full size.
Christmas tree farms help to prevent over-development of land and provide a beautiful landscape. By cutting your own tree at a local farm, you support local agriculture and reduce transportation emissions from harvesting and transporting trees from elsewhere. Best of all, it's a fun family activity!
