Our Heritage

A Massachusetts
Century Farm

For over two centuries, the Dowse family has cultivated this land in the heart of Boston's MetroWest. What began as a small New England homestead in 1778 has grown into one of Massachusetts' most cherished family farms.

Today, we continue the tradition โ€” growing over 20 varieties of apples, pressing fresh cider every week, and welcoming families from across the region to experience farming the way it was meant to be.
