Green Meadows Farms' Mission Statement
Green Meadows Farm is proud to be one of Massachusetts' privately-owned small farms, but one dedicated to being more than a farmstand for home-grown produce. Our founder's mission was to make this land productive and an asset to the community. By achieving certified organic status through best agricultural practices, and by offering a welcoming destination and healthy outdoor experience for family members of all ages, we believe we are fulfilling that promise. We are committed to producing the highest possible quality of fresh fruits and vegetables, grown without pesticides or chemicals. We intend that our visitors shall enjoy open land, learn about farming, and experience a happy and relaxed time in this country environment.
History of Green Meadows Farm
Green Meadows Farm is a property with a long history as a private estate.
The main house has been dated in its central part to 1786. Successive owners added pieces to it over the years, hence its rambling character!
Major and Mrs. George S. Patton Jr. bought the property in 1928. The Pattons lived here only occasionally until World War II, when Beatrice Patton took up residence, expecting to welcome her husband home from the war, to retirement. Unfortunately, an untimely vehicle accident caused General Patton's death in 1945, so he never was here in extended residence. Mrs Patton lived here until her death in the hunting field in 1953.
Upon his retirement after 34 years as a career Army officer, the next George Patton and his family moved here permanently in 1980. Major General Patton was determined to make something more of his property than "leisure land", so with the help of agricultural, environmental, and forestry experts -- and the advice of seasoned farmers -- he initiated Green Meadows Farm, originally as a blueberry operation. Naming his fields for brave soldiers who had lost their lives in service with him in Vietnam, he and his farm personnel have worked hard to maximize the potential of the land.
Major General Patton died in 2004 but his wife, Joanne, as owner, remains dedicated to continuing the mission of Green Meadows Farm.
