Appleton Farms is located off of Rte. 1A in Ipswich, MA. To get to the route 1A and the farm:

From Rt. 128 take exit 20A onto Rt. 1A North for about 7 miles. The farm entrance is on the left just past the “Entering Ipswich” town sign. If traveling south on Rte 1A, the farm entrance is just past Waldingfield Road on your right.

Two stone pillars mark the entry drive and there is a blue & gold “Appleton Farms” sign. Follow this entrance drive into the farm. (Disregard the sign that says “authorized vehicles only.” You are authorized for this program). Note: If you see the “Entering Hamilton” sign, you have gone too far South on Route 1A. Turn around and head back to the farm entrance gate. If you see the “entering Ipswich” sign, the farm entrance is just ahead on the left.
