About Stearns Farm CSA in Framingham, MA
Timothy Stearns first purchased land in the area in 1723. His daughter married Col. Nixon and their son, Capt. Thomas Nixon, Jr., built the house across the road in 1787, which still stands today. The land stayed in the Nixon family until Margaret Welch took ownership in the early 1900s. In 1954, Mrs. Welch’s English friend, Penelope Turton, founded Stearns Organic Farm and farmed it until 1990. Mrs. Welch then donated a total of 80 acres of land – 10 acres of farmland and an additional 70 acres that adjoin Callahan State Park – to Sudbury Valley Trustees (SVT) in 1975. This historic land has changed hands many times over the centuries, but the story of Timothy Stearns’ legacy lives on in the form of Stearns Organic Farm, a testament to his agricultural legacy.
