Additional Information

Description

The Warren Farm & Sugarhouse specialized in the production of pure maple syrup and a unique, specialty food product line that utilized maple as a main ingredient.  The sugarhouse holds a 4x14' SS evaporator and includes an annex for filtering and bottling.  There are over 3000 taps avaiable - both on the farm and on the surrounding 250 acres owned by the Worcester Diocese, with permission to tap and 1st right to own.  The farm has 2 greenhouses, along with a field crop area, 2 1/2 acre orchard, and berry and grape rows.  There is also a small pasture with a lean-to.  The hightest part of the farm, approx. 5 acres, would be perfect as a solar farm.  One greenhouse is hard-sided and is perfect for controlled germination via grow mats and domes.  Greenhouses come with grow mats, domes, flats, cells, and pots.  There are also potting benches, a dosimeter, and irrigation lines.  The sturdy barn is divided into a workshop and the farm retail shop.  Its loft is dry and perfect for storage, and the floor is cement.  A wide driveway separates the barn from the house.  The federally licensed commercial kitchen is attached to the house by a mudroom, and an attractive farmers porch which runs along the length of it.  It contains all the necessary tables, shelving, prepping, and equipment necessary for specialty food production.  It could also be rented out as additional revenue.  

This small farm, dating back to 1867, just shy of 10 acres, is located on a quiet, dead-end street in North Brookfield, MA, Worcester County.  Surrounded by 250 acres of woodland and wetlands, it has a strong rural, agricultural appeal.  There are a multitude of revenue opportunites with this farm - agriculture, specialty food production, agri-tourism, etc.  It is very easy to find, as it is 2 blocks from main street and 5 blocks from the center of town.  Its history has been recorded by a local historian and that information is available.  

This beautiful little treasure trove of opportunities must be explored for all it is worth.  For more information, please contact:
