About Chestnut Hill Farm
Chestnut Hill Farm, located in Southborough, MA was a 170-acre working farm that was saved from development in the 1960s through the dedication of a local family. Upon arrival, follow a gentle cart path from the parking area through the fields into woods dominated by oak, red maple, and white pine to the covered embankment of the Hultman Aqueduct, which provides a backup route for Boston’s water supply from the Quabbin and Wachusett Reservoirs. Loop trails wind through upland forests and along the edges of freshwater wetlands. Meanwhile, designated bird reserves allow for safe nesting habitat for Bobolinks, Eastern Meadowlarks, and other ground-nesting species beneath a wide-open sky. The farm offers self-guided opportunities and guided programming with a focus on connecting families with nature and agroecology.
