Haverhill · Agritourism Farm

Crescent Farm on Willow Avenue mixes a working farmstand with an anaerobic digester that turns food waste into more than 8,000 megawatt-hours of renewable energy a year, credited back to Haverhill's schools and public buildings through net metering. Visitors come for the ice cream, farm animals, spring and summer tours, fall pumpkin picking, hayrides, and a corn maze. It's agritourism built on top of a genuine energy project.

Haverhill · Agritourism Farm

Kimball Farm in Haverhill has stayed in the Kimball family since 1820, now run by ninth-generation farmer Tyler Kimball. The dairy operation shut down in 1977; today the farm sells grass-fed beef, pork, eggs, and maple syrup, runs a USDA-certified composting facility, and keeps goats, sheep, alpacas, and Belgian work horses for visitors to meet. The corn maze, running since 2007, is the main fall draw.

Haverhill · Agritourism Farm

Rogers Spring Hill Farm has grown strawberries on Neck Road in Haverhill since 1902, running a pick-your-own patch each June alongside what's now a full garden center. The picking side stays low-key — no corn maze, no festival midway, just rows of berries and a fair price per quart. The strawberry window is short, so call before making the drive once June arrives.
