Farm Guidelines

Vineyard Farm is a 75-acre farm, producing over 90% of our own quality products, organically and traditionally grown. We are also proud to offer a wide variety of locally grown and sourced products! Our produce is picked daily at our farm during the growing season, May through October. This ensures superb freshness and flavor. We pride ourselves in providing fresh, responsibly grown produce. It is of the highest quality, exceptionally healthy, delicious, nutritious, and safe. We were the first farm in Massachusetts to pass the GAP certification with a 100%. We are also certified members of the Massachusetts Commonwealth Quality Program (QCP), using practices that are safe, sustainable, and environmentally friendly; meeting stringent federal, state, and local regulatory requirements; and employing best management practices and production standards that ensure consumers receive the most safe and wholesome products available. Commonwealth Quality for fresh produce requires that farmers employ food safety standards that minimize the risk of microbial contamination and food-borne illnesses for fruits and vegetables grown, harvested, and packed in Massachusetts. This is accomplished through adherence to food safety requirements laid out in the Food Safety Modernization Act’s Produce Safety Rule and regional good agricultural practices. CQP farms must comply with strict requirements regarding employee training and hygiene practices and responsibly manage their facilities, agricultural water, soil amendments, and wildlife to ensure only the safest products are available to consumers.
