Connors Farm was established in 1904. The Connors family had followed in the foot-steps of generations of farmers who had been farming the land for over 300 years. Connors Farm began as a "truck farm" meaning that all of the crops grown at the time were trucked into Boston to be sold wholesale. Years later, the family decided to try selling the corn on their own by creating a small roadside stand on part of the property. This soon became a tremendous success and people from all over the North Shore came to buy Connors Farm corn.
Today, Connors Farm is still a working farm. The farm includes 140-acres of land which is used to grow crops such as corn, tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries, squash, pumpkins, apples, peaches, cut flowers and many other types of produce. It also makes use of eight greenhouses for a variety of uses. The farm is one of the largest farms in the area protected by agricultural preservation restrictions, meaning that the farm will remain as open space in perpetuity.
The formation of incredible corn mazes began back in 2008. As you may recall, we blogged about this amazing farm last year because of their tribute to Charlie Brown. Check out the schedule and admission prices before planning your fall activities and trip to the farm!
