Indian Head Farm, Berlin MA
Indian Head Farm has been around for TWO centries!! Indian Head Farm turned to small fruit and mixed vegetable production in the mid 70's, with the addition of flowers and the production of jams, pickles, and relishes in the 80's, as it once again responded to the needs of New England consumers.
We (Lilac Hedge Farm) rent space from Indian Head Farm for some of our operations and the Wheeler family has welcomed us to comingle in their space and have helped us in our journey more than we think about on a daily basis. They sell some of our products in their store during their season, and we can have anything available at the farm as we are there almost everyday.
