Family Farms in New England

One of the treasures of New England is the number and variety of family-run farms in the region. Although the numbers of New England farms have been decreasing over the years, there are still quite a few in operation (one illustration of this: in 1972, there were 90 dairy farms in Rhode Island, and, by 2003, this number had dropped to 22).

Examples of these family-run farms include:

Norton Brothers Fruit Farm, Cheshire, Connecticut

Wentworth Hill Farms, Knox, Maine

Balance Rock Farm, Berlin, Massachusetts

King's Brook Farm, Bradford, New Hampshire

Rambone Brothers Farm, Johnston, Rhode Island

Doolittle Farm, Shoreham, Vermont
