Established in 1638 as a land grant to Samuel Appleton, Appleton Farms is one of the oldest continuously operating farms in the United States. Scenic views of rolling grasslands, grazing livestock, ancient stone walls, tree-lined carriage paths, and historic farm buildings are all part of the legacy of nine generations of Appleton family members kept alive through the work of The Trustees of Reservations.

Operations include a community-supported agriculture, a retail feed and mulch haying operation, and livestock and dairy programs.

Programs for adults and children are offered throughout the year. Please visit http://www.thetrustees.org/pages/249_appleton_farms.cfm for more information.
