Verrill Farm

Verrill Farm: Though not strictly organic (this farm practices IPM, or integrated pest management), this farm in Concord, MA, at the corner of route 116 (Great Road) and Sudbury Rd. has a small market with delicious fresh produce (home-grown and from elsewhere), including, in season, over a dozen varieties of heirloom tomatoes, peaches, six kinds of peppers, corn, kale, chard, yellow and purple carrots, rhubarb, spinach, and asparagus. All are delicious and fresh. It’s fun to just go and see what’s available and cook from there. Reasonable prices as well. Verrill also has a deli with the best vegetable wrap my husband has ever tasted, as well as seasonal special events and pick-your-own events. You can add yourself to their email list to get notified of special events. I discovered the band Southern Rail at the 2006 corn and potato festival.
