We offer a wide selection of nutrient dense vegetables, greens, herbs, flowers and some fruit that are all grown on our farm without synthetic chemicals. We focus on building healthy soils through sustainable farming practices, to grow delicious, high-quality produce. We raise about 400 chickens on pasture for amazing tasting eggs. We also sell Massachusetts maple syrup from the Berkshires.

Availability

What does it mean to grow seasonally? For the most part, we don't try and push the bounds of Mother Nature. For example, we don't grow summer vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, summer squash and melons outside of summertime. Just like there are heat loving veggies, there are many veggies and greens that perform better in cooler weather, like broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, carrots, beets, and many greens. We are able to grow some cool weather crops in the heat of the summer, but items like broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and spinach we only grow in the spring and/or fall. We do, however, utilize season extension techniques to offer produce as far into the fall and winter as possible. In addition to storing root vegetables, winter squash, and onions in our coolers, we grow greens in our unheated hoophouses all winter long.

Free-range & GMO-free Eggs

We have about 400 laying hens. Our chickens are raised on pasture, which means they are outside all day (free-range) and have access to grass and bugs. We regularly rotate them to fresh pasture to allow regrowth in the previous area and provide fresh grass and bugs. We also feed our chickens GMO-free grain from Green Mountain Feeds (the corn and soybeans in the feed are NOT genetically modified and most of the other ingredients are certified organic). They also get vegetable scraps from the farm (chickens love heirloom tomatoes, greens, cucumbers, and just about any vegetable). This makes their eggs very tasty and nutritious, with deep yellow/orange yolks.

Maple Syrup
We sell 100% Pure Massachusetts Maple Syrup from the Berkshires (Holiday Brook Farm in Dalton, MA). Holiday Brook Farm is a diversified farm with a rich history. They grow vegetables, make maple syrup, offer firewood from their sustainably managed forests, and raise grass-fed cattle and pastured pigs. This is the farm that we apprenticed on for 2 years before we started Apponagansett Farm. Each year we make the trek back to Dalton and bottle syrup and bring this delicious product back to Dartmouth. The sugar bush (a stand of sugar maple trees) is a sustainably managed stand, and the sap is boiled with a wood fire. Nothing is added to the maple syrup and everything we sell comes from this small sugarhouse. 
The grading system for maple syrup has changed (see the Mass. Maple Association for more information). We have Grade A Amber, Dark, and Very Dark available in 1/2 pint, pint, and quart jugs. We also have maple syrup in decorative glass.
We currently sell the maple syrup at our farm stand (June - November) and at the Pawtucket Wintertime Market on Saturday mornings from 9 am to 1 pm.
