A personal favorite this organic farm is know for its beauty, great trails, and educational programs. Check out the animals (the goats love attention), the historic buildings and equipment, or go for a hike in the woods. The farmers are super friendly and the farm stand won a “Best of Boston” award - yummy veggies and fresh flowers. Under the current Covid rules you have to place an order online on Thursday and it will be ready to pick up on the following Saturday. Holly Hill also hosts field trips and offers a summer camp program.
