Maple Bank Farm Today

We are a community-oriented local vegetable and fruit farm that has been operating in Roxbury since 1730.
Local, Fresh Food

Maple Bank Farm has lived on to provide quality, fresh products while providing a destination that exemplifies what a farm stand can mean to a small town.

 

Maple Bank is now cared for by Kirby Peters who runs the farm and the stand's day to day operations. The farm is staffed by a small team of dedicated employees who love everything related to farming, agriculture, and fresh local food.

 

Something extremely important to us is providing transparency in every step of the food production process. From cultivation & growing, to picking & washing, we are passionate about giving the community a window into the local food system.

The vision for the future of our farm is to continue to provide the community with a marketplace where they can buy fresh produce, locally produced items, and seasonal specialty items.

Our History

Our farm's rich history and place in the community has helped make it a cornerstone of Roxbury since 1730.

We love what we do and it shows.

It takes a team of dedicated and hard working individuals to farm and produce the wide variety of vegetable, fruits and potted plants that we are able to provide.
