The Strawberries are Grandchild approved!
The start of our PYO Strawberry season
is right around the corner.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you soon.
"Grandad and Nana" Brown bought the farm just after the turn of the century in the early 1900s. They opened the fields to the public for "Pick Your Own" strawberries during the depression. They had nine children and their eighth child, Noel followed in his father's footsteps, becoming the next "Farmer Brown" as well as being a full time fireman here in Agawam.
Noel and Dorothy had seven children, many hands were needed to keep up with the growing farm! Noel grew the PYO to include Blueberries, Raspberries, Apples, Tomatoes, Peppers, and more, as well as greenhouses filled with annual flowers and tomatoes.
The "FARM" has a heartbeat of its own. Many local kids grew up working here. They come back now bringing their kids to pick strawberries like they did "back in the day".
Noel's grandchildren, the "fourth generation" all grew up working with their grandfather and Uncle Mark in the fields, at the stand
and going to farmers' markets.
Now their little ones, our "fifth generation" of Browns, play and love their time here on the Farm.
We are always crop and weather permitting.
Should weather look questionable check our Facebook page Browns Provin Mt. Farm as we can update that in real time.
We update the message on our answering machine and this website as soon as we can.
