Heron Pond Farm: Tomato Festival and Family Fun Programming

August is the best time to visit the farm!

August 7, 2024


August is the best time to visit the farm - pick your own blueberries, join us for Science on the Farm storytime, explore our Children’s Garden, enjoy the new Story Walk, and our annual Tomato Festival!



Heron Pond Farm is a year-round vegetable farm in South Hampton NH. We attend local farmers markets in Portsmouth and Newburyport, have our farm store in South Hampton and we have offsite CSA pick up locations in Dover, Portsmouth and North Andover. CSA stands for community supported agriculture, and can be seen as an investment in your family’s health through fresh veggies and fruits all year long!



This year we are hosting fun, educational programming for the whole family! We’ve brought back our beloved Science on the Farm Storytime by local librarian Clare, with one more session to go on Wednesday August 28. We had a nice visit from the UNH Extension program’s soil tent which was explored and enjoyed by a handful of folks. The children’s garden has exploded with growth and is full of veggies, flowers, and herbs that you can taste and harvest a little bit from. 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 at a prorated cost 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.comwith questions.
