Farm

This 658 acre estate offers rolling grasslands, grazing livestock, stone walls, and historic farm buildings are part of this pastoral landscape – a rare glimpse into New England’s agricultural past. A gift of Colonel Francis R. Appleton, Jr., and his wife Joan, Appleton Farms is one of the oldest continuously operating farms in the country, established and maintained by nine generations of the Appleton family. Miles of trails wind through area of grassy field, farm land and forest, and are perfect for walking and horseback riding.

Three generations of Richardson's have produced and bottled their own milk and made ice cream, to be bought at the farm or other retail outlets. Visit the ice cream stand, mini golf, driving range, and batting cages. Cows and calves are on view at all times.

This is a lso a great place to purchase the best farm-fresh milk on the North Shore
