About Hayberry Farm

History

With a long history as farmland, this beautiful U-pick farm was originally cleared for sheep grazing. From the 1940s to the turn of the century it operated as a family dairy farm.

The first blueberries arrived in 2008, after the previous owners spent a year preparing the soil for planting. Now the fields host eleven varieties of blueberries, fourteen varieties of Lavendula Angustifolia, perennial herbs and flowers, as well as acres of hazelnut & chestnuts.

Water from surrounding hills pass through Shingle Hollow Brook and irrigates the fields.  The wetland is home to great blue heron, geese, ducks, red-winged blackbirds and other native birds, amphibians, insects and small mammals. We count on our honey bees and equally important native bees and bumble bees, to pollinate the berries and other crops.

Hayberry Now

In addition to the blueberry and lavender u-picks, Hayberry Farm currently hosts the non-profit Grow Big Trees, who helps to steward the land, hosts workshops, and offering forestry apprenticeships.

Honey Bee Hill keeps bee hives at the farm. You can find their honey, including a lavender infused honey, in the farm store during the season.

Additionally, we have a wonderful farm stay offering that can also host small workshops and retreats. For more information you can head to our farm stay Check out our beautiful farm stay offering.
