About Northeast Harvest

Northeast Harvest is a Buy Local program representing Essex and Middlesex counties supported by the Essex Agricultural Society. Northeast Harvest works to help sustain the farmers and agricultural producers of both counties in Massachusetts. We work in collaboration with many other organizations as well as individual growers and agricultural producers to highlight the number and variety of farms and food products that are available in northeastern Massachusetts.

Farmers Market

Get FRESH at the Farmers’ Market!

Whether you live in a city or rural township, a farmers’ market is easy to find today. Not so not too long ago! Back in 1977, there were only 7 farmers markets in the entire state. Today there are hundreds and 55 of them are in the NortheastHarvest region.

Griggs Farm
The history of Griggs Farm goes back to 1943 when Gilbert Griggs moved to Billerica from Georgetown, Massachusetts. The farm was first a chicken farm and an apple orchard. In 1955, Gil stopped raising chickens and focused on fruits and vegetables. Gil’s son Billy went to school for horticulture and came back to the farm after college. He built the first greenhouse in 1981.
Foxbarn Farm
Foxbarn Farm grows and brings a variety of vegetables to local farmers markets. We specialize in fresh-picked corn, hard-stem garlic, garden chard and kale, a colorful spectrum of sweet cherry tomatoes, as well as Carlisle Honey (available year round).
