At Chestnut Hill Farm, you can trek through 131 acres, past fields and pastures framed by stone walls, and enjoy grassland bird watching under the wide-open sky. Designated bird reserves allow for safe nesting habitat for Bobolinks, Eastern Meadowlarks, and other ground nesting species. One of the last working farms in the town of Southborough, Chestnut Hill Farm is a living tribute to the town's rich agricultural past.
In 2006, townspeople in Southborough voted to purchase a conservation restriction on the unprotected portions of Chestnut Hill Farm. It is thanks to this vision and to the generosity of the Beals family that The Trustees are able to take over the care and protection of this community treasure today.
In 2015, The Trustees began a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program at Chestnut Hill Farm, accompanied by educational and recreational opportunities for visitors. Our seasonal farmstand is open to the public several days a week and features local honey from the farm's beehives along with farm fresh vegetables and fruits.
About our farming practices:
We follow the organic standards but are not certified organic. This means we don�t use GMO seeds or chemical fertilizers; and when needed to protect crops from pests or diseases, we only apply organic pesticides or fungicides. We seek to care for our soils, create healthy habitat for pollinators, and protect the air and water in our community.
