Overview
Ten-generation family farm growing fresh produce, u-pick strawberries, and a seasonal corn maze on 150 acres of river valley soil.
Warner Farm has been operating in Sunderland since 1718, making it one of the oldest continuously running family farms in New England. Ten generations of the Warner family farmed this land before father and son Mike and David Wissemann took on the legacy. The farm spans 150 acres of fertile river valley soil and grows a wide range of crops. Produce is sold wholesale throughout Massachusetts and at farmers markets, including the Greenfield Farmers' Market. The farm also invites the public to pick their own strawberries from its fields each June. An eight-acre corn maze, Mike's Maze, draws thousands of visitors to the farm each fall. Learn more on their About Page.
Warner Farm maintains 25 acres in USDA Certified Organic production, with additional fields in the three-year transition period toward certification. All crops are non-GMO. On non-organic fields, the farm uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program: fields are scouted weekly by an IPM consultant using traps, beneficial predator insects are released as a first line of defense, and pesticides are applied only when a pest or disease reaches a level that could seriously harm a crop. To support soil fertility, the farm implements crop rotations and a zone tillage program designed to reduce weed pressure, retain nutrients, prevent erosion, improve drainage, and lower fossil fuel use. Seventy acres of the farm are preserved under the Massachusetts Agricultural Preservation Restriction Program.
