Teach your little ones the joy and importance of gardening and nutrition this summer! Join our CSA program, visit the farm, pick your own berries and explore the children’s garden. 


This article is sponsored by Heron Pond Farm.


Heron Pond Farm is a year-round vegetable farm sprawling across 50 acres in NH and Massachusetts. Find us at farmers markets in Portsmouth and Newburyport, our farm store in South Hampton and at offsite CSA pick up locations in Dover, Portsmouth and North Andover. CSA stands for community supported agriculture - invest at the beginning of the season in exchange for fresh veggies and fruits all summer long! 




This year we are hosting educational workshops for the whole family. We are bringing back our beloved STEM in the Garden Storytime once a month AND introducing a cool new program called Family Garden Fun! This will be a weekly workshop series for kids and families where we’ll explore the life cycle of food from plants to the table, through the lenses of science, art, history, math, culture and more. 

At the farm we have a children’s exploratory garden full of veggies, flowers, and herbs that you can follow along as it grows. Seeing, touching, smelling and tasting is encouraged, but remember this is for all friends of the farm, so please don’t take more than your fair share. 




Join our flexible CSA program for weekly access to fresh, local vegetables and fruits! Fully customizable to fit your family needs, you choose what you want each week. In addition to veggies, we offer shares of other locally sourced products like mushrooms, eggs, dairy and meat. Join anytime throughout the season at a prorated price, just reach out to info@heronpondfarm.com with questions.
