Now in its fourth generation, Araujo Farms grows about 90% of what it sells at its Dighton garden center. A 2021-22 expansion connected five new greenhouses into one enclosed complex, so shoppers can browse vegetable and annual plants, fall squash, and gifts without getting rained on.

Plympton

Mayflower Cranberries farms 23.6 acres of active bog across a 112-acre property in Plympton, part of the working cranberry belt of southeastern Massachusetts.
