At Powisset Farm explore the loop trail on this local treasure and vibrant working farm, taking in the surrounding woodlands, fields, and wetlands.

Open fields and clusters of farm buildings make up a scenic, pastoral landscape and a rare treasure within the Greater Boston area. With a history of active agricultural use dating back more than 300 years, the farm remains an invaluable cultural resource today. The Trustees continue that legacy through a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program based on the property, along with a vibrant barnyard, farmstand, and teaching kitchen.

During your visit, stroll down the farm lane, say hello to the barnyard animals, and admire the rows of vegetables and herbs. Take the loop trail beyond the cultivated land to an upland oak forest, a pair of brooks, vernal pools, and wooded wetlands, and gaze across furrowed croplands and thick hayfields attracting white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, and grassland-nesting bobolinks. Mowed trails through the hay fields link to the adjacent, 1,200-acre Hale Reservation, while Noanet Woodlands is situated across the street.
