We took over Spring Rain Farm’s pick-your-own strawberry patch starting in the 2022 season. Strawberry Season runs from late May through the month of June. The patch will open again in late May or early June of 2024. For updates on the patch, please follow Spring Rain Farm on Facebook! We may close due to bad weather or low fruit availability, so Facebook is your BEST BET for checking whether the stand is open or not.
Heirloom Cranberries
We have fresh heirloom cranberries available in the fall. For wholesale orders for local CSAs, Food Hubs, or other organizations, please reach out directly to William at oldearthorchards@gmail.com or 774-218-6416.
The cranberries are grown on the property by Spring Rain Farm, run by William’s father, Billy. He uses Integrated Pest Management techniques such as late-watering to significantly reduce pesticide use. Our family has been growing cranberries since 1984. We also offer another heirloom cranberry variety, Howes, sourced from family friends and fellow cranberry growers, the Wards.
Orchard Fruit
We planted an orchard! Our ultimate goal is to offer a fruit CSA, but most of the trees are still too young to produce fruit. Since returning to the family farm in 2014, we have grafted and planted over 300 fruit trees – apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, and plums. We have dozens of varieties of fruit, some of which are hundreds of years old. Others only exist in a handful of places in the world. All are the likes of which you cannot find in a supermarket. We are hoping to have our first marketable orchard crop in 2024, as well as rhubarb, muskmelons, and wild elderberries.
