We have set the dial to 1922 in the town of Concord MA. Steve Verrill's father & mother moved to Concord in 1918 & started a successful dairy business in 1922. In 1957 Steve graduated from Cornell University & in 1982 assumed operations of the farm. In 1990 Steve & Joan decided to sell their dairy herd & convert to growing & selling produce. Steve & Joan's daughter graduated from UMass Amherst & began working in local restaurants & developed an interest in cooking & baking. When she returned to the family farm, a small bakery was built in the old milking parlor. There the Verrill Farm pies were created in a small roadside tent. They outgrew the space & 1995 built a new space that included a commercial kitchen & Jen & others made baked goods & foods to go. The farm grew & expanded over the years. Let's fast forward to 2022 & Verrill Farm is now celebrating its 100th YEAR & still is FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED! It now offers New England specialty foods, their own fresh produce in season, fresh flowers, gifts, prepared foods to go & homemade baked goods. Jennifer's husband, Tim is now part of the Verrill Farm team as well as their two daughters, Chloe & Grace. It's now become a fourth generational business.
