Farm Store at Liberty Farms
Liberty Farms - Farms Store
Just down the road from The BARN at Liberty Farms
May through November
The Farm Stand at Liberty Farms is in the oldest barn on the farm, a rustic timber frame barn built in 1780. It, along with the farm house, were part of a small dairy called Willow Brook Farm, a fitting name as a small babbling brook runs just behind the barn into a pond surrounded by magnificent weeping willow trees. In 2015 we restored what we could salvage from this once beautiful structure that was part of the original farm here at 114 Ostrander.
