All the plants, critters, and people at Griggs Farm are now settingly down for our long winter’s nap…

We wish to warmly thank all of our friends and customers for their ongoing business and support.  We work hard all season to bring you the best in local plants and vegetables, and truly appreciate your ongoing committment to your local farm.

We wish each of you a healthy, properous, healthy New Year.  Check in to see what’s growing in March, 2012.

            Visit  Griggs Farm  for beautiful Christmas Trees, Wreaths, Poinsettias…

We offer our many decorative options for the holiday season.  We begin by growing our own beautiful, healthy poinsettias – in deep reds, white, pinks, even mixed colores — and in a variety of sizes.  There are a selection of stunning hangers as well.  We grow them at our farm, beginning in July, and cultivate them with care until the Christmas season.  They are much more beautiful than the drugstore or road-stand variety, and likely the same price.

Our wreaths are hand-decorated by busy Griggs Farm elves — we make the bows, paint the pine cones,  and otherwise assemble all of the decorations.  Our kissing balls are also hand-made; first we make the ball itself out of freshly cut greens, then we make the bows and tails, then we decorate by hand.  This means each wreath and kissing ball is unique, and we can customize to meet your color scheme and holiday needs, from traditional Christmas and Hanukkah colors to red/white/ blue for local troops to even matching your house and shutters. Don’t see it?  Ask an elf for help!

And last but not least, we have a huge assortment of beautiful, healthy Christmas Trees.  Sizes range from 3′ - 12′, and our prices begin at $12.99.  We are proud to offer the best price for the best quality!

Stop by, snap some family pictures, take your time, and enjoy the beauty of the season.  We are happy to help you in any way we can.

Fall is a beautiful time in New England and Griggs Farm offers some of the season’s favorites — a full harvest of fresh vegetables from our 50+ acres, beautiful mums in all colors and sizes, and pumpkins to cook, carve, and color!! 

Our annual mum sale has begun!  

The sale runs from August 7-21.  Stop in for a wide selection of healthy mums at prices you can’t beat.

It’s that time of the year…our own sweet corn and fresh tomatoes await you!

We also have  peppers, beans, eggplants, cucumbers, squashes….the list goes on.  We grow our own produce on 54 acres so its fresh — we pick food daily — healthy, local, and delicous.  In addtion, our prices are highly competitive, making shopping at the farm an all-around wise decision.

Eat well — and support your local farm at the same time!

It’s finally here — sunshine, warm weather, and safe planting!

Well, we can’t promise anything about the weather, but Memorial Day is usually the date for safe gardening in  Massachusetts.  It can still get cold but it is unlikely to get cold enough to kill your annuals and vegetables.  So come on in!

We have a huge variety of vegetable plants including cucumbers, peppers, eggplant, okra, squash, pumpkin, and lots more.  Our tomato variety is truly worthwhile — a large selection of full size, cherry, and grape tomatoes, all well as many heirloom varieties.   The plants are healthy and ready to be planted in your yard or container.

We also offer hundreds of flowering annual and perennials plants, for sun, shade, or both.   We can help you with color, season, location, and any other questions you might have. A good way to keep your property looking good is to create a base of seasonal perennial plants and then accent with colorful annuals.   This lets you change things a bit each year, while keeping a reliable foundation that doesn’t need much work.

And last but not least, we have plenty of colorful hangers and planters for you as well.  This year we have planted various herb and vegetable plants in containers, for easy access and/or smaller gardens or decks.  A lack of space doesn’t have to mean a lack of fresh veggies…

As always, if you can’t find (or don’t know) what you need, just ask a staff person for help.

Be sure to visit us for a wide selection of big, beautiful hanging plants, perfect gifts for Mother’s Day. 

Choices include fuschia, petunia, lantana, impatiens, double impatiens, ivy geranium, mixed combos, and more!  Ask us for help in selecting the correct plant for your setting; we can also provide guidance on care.  As always, we have hundreds of perennials and annuals for your gardening needs, offering the best of selections for Mom — and you!

Spring is really here!

 There were moments — those many days of shoveling four feet of  snow or more — that even seasoned gardeners wondered if spring would arrive.  But it did, as glorious as ever.   Need proof?  Come visit our greenhouse, filled with stunning color and variety.

Favorite spring items include daffodil, tulips, hyacinth, lamium (White Nancy), and colorful creeping phlox.  We have lots and lots of pansies to choose from, including our own unique moss/pansy hangers (which can last your through the summer; just be sure to ask about care).  We also have cool weather vegetable plants, including a variety of lettuces, broccoli, cabbages, brussel sprouts, and more.  Lastly, don’t forget your herb garden; peppermint, spearmint, and of course, parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme!

Spring is a good time to plant perennials, so come in and get an early start on a beautiful garden.

As we’re closing up for the season, we want to say thank-you to our loyal customers and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  We’ll see you in the spring!
