Boston's climate brings cold winters averaging 29°F and warm summers around 82°F, with the Atlantic Ocean moderating temperatures. The rocky New England soil requires careful cultivation, but river valleys offer rich growing areas. With 200 frost-free days from May through October, farms make the most of intense summer growing.
Massachusetts farms fed America's revolution and pioneered agricultural education at UMass Amherst. The area developed famous varieties like Concord grapes and McIntosh apples. Today's farms blend Yankee tradition with innovation, supplying Boston's farmers markets and supporting the local food movement that started here.
Strawberry season begins in June when the Red Sox are in full swing. July brings blueberries from Cape Cod's acidic soil, along with sweet corn and tomatoes. Apple picking defines fall, starting Labor Day weekend with early varieties and lasting through Columbus Day. Cranberry bogs flood in October, creating stunning red fields during harvest.
Farms spread across the Merrimack Valley (45 minutes via I-93), MetroWest (35 minutes via I-90), and South Shore (40 minutes via Route 3). Weekend traffic can be heavy, especially fall foliage season. Many farms are accessible via commuter rail. September and October are busiest but offer perfect weather. Some historic farms date to the 1600s and offer educational tours.
