Mission:

The mission of White Barn Farm is to preserve open space and this historic family property by growing food in a beautiful living landscape that will inspire feasting in celebration of natural beauty and our local economy.  White Barn Farm aims to make Wrentham a funner and tastier place to live.

Values:

Environmental Stewardship.  We will strive each year to not only maintain, but also improve soil, water, and air quality at our farm.  Building healthy soil that supports healthy crops is at the core of our farming mission. Our farming practices will promote biodiversity - from soil biota to wild turkeys to myriad wasps to vegetable varieties.  We also aim to minimize our energy and water use and work toward using renewable sources of energy to power our farm.

Social Consciousness.  We aim to create a sustainable business that can support living wages and health benefits for employees.  We will do our best to be conscious consumers in the global economy and to support local businesses whenever possible. We will donate excess food to the Wrentham Food Pantry.

Community Building. We take pride in showing kids how food grows. We want our produce to teach the locals how to eat with the seasons. We hope to inspire culinary masterpieces in nearby restaurants and homes. We want to preserve agriculture in the heart of suburbia and by doing so encourage other aspiring farmers. We want White Barn Farm to be a hub of progressive people who like to treat eachother and our environment well and have a good time while they're at it.

About Us:

White Barn Farm is a small family-run farm growing fresh vegetables and flowers in Wrentham, Massachusetts.  The farmers here are dedicated to using organic farming methods and believe in the importance of growing food for their community. They hope to inspire the locals to eat in season and take the extra moments to prepare wonderful meals for the people they love using ingredients grown with care. 

This year, we are teaming up with one of eastern Massachusetts' best farmers, Brittany Sidway Overshiner! She is starting Upswing Farm this year on 10 acres in Holliston (address: 28 South St., Ashland, MA). We are collaborating to grow and market all of our produce together this year, in an endeavor we like to call Superfarm! Having three farmers is way better than having two and it doesn't hurt to have an additional 10 acres to grow all the crops that take up lots of space (melons, potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squash). Having such a distant satellite field also allows us to do some more meaningful crop rotation to starve out pests that have built up here at White Barn, cover crop rather than double crop more of our field space, and maybe someday save seeds of crops that can be tricky to keep true because of cross pollination.
