This family-owned farm is located on the rich alluvial plains of the Connecticut River. Beginning with a strawberry crop in 1976, today, in 2008, Anne and Pooh Sprague with their two children Sarah and Ray as well as 24 year veteran Mike Harrington manage a farm of 170 acres with about 60 tillable acres on which they grow small fruits and vegetables. They have approximately 60,000 square feet of poly greenhouses in which they grow bedding plants and greenhouse vegetables. The Route 12A farmstand is the flagship of their farming activities, connected to a commercial kitchen with salads, pickles, ready to cook vegetarian dinners, simple baked goods, and more. You can visit the farm in person, order online or sign up for their CSA programs.
