We held the first Tomato Festival many years ago to highlight our beloved heirloom tomatoes that we are extremely dedicating to growing and sharing with our community. After a few years of not hosting a Tomato Fest, we decided to revive this annual event in 2022 after COVID-19 shook up the world. In the wake of the global pandemic, we felt it more necessary than ever to gather with our community to celebrate our connection to the land and people who make this farm possible. The event as it is came to be in 2023 when we decided to include music and art in addition to local vendors and our tradition of tomato tasting to find the fan favorite variety of the year.

Last year in 2025, we decided to make this annual happening a charitable event! We’ve teamed up with the friendly folks at Amesbury Industrial Supply to raise money for three of our favorite local organizations: Our Neighbor’s Table, Love Bus, and the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center. We will be raising money through raffle ticket sales, business sponsorships, donations upon entry, and leading up to the event using the link below. Please help us spread the word!
