Appleton Farms, Ipswich

I had a delightful walk on a fall day here. Parking is modest unless you are a member of the trustees and it’s free The signage for different length walks was clearly marked. The farm store is rather small and limited in scope.

This is a beautiful, well-kept working farm, with loads to do and many paths to explore. Stonewalls abound throughout the property, making Appleton Farms the perfect backdrop for New England autumn day. This is a great spot picnic, so bring a blanket to spread out. There are very clean restrooms by the education center, a small farm store that sells local wares and plenty of parking onsite. Also it’s good to note that most of the walking paths and trails are flat, well-groomed and very accessible. If you’re looking for an easy ramble or an outing with little ones, look no further!

There’s not a lot to see at the farm. A few animals and an area with picnic tables. It’s a working farm so there’s areas that are not open to visitors. They do have miles of trails that you can walk.

They put on the best Haunted Trail. It was very creative. The Farm Store is precious and contains thoughtful products for clean eating.

No Farm Animals present when we went The trails should have been properly marked Nice place to walk around though I feel 10$ is high price given that we did not see any farm animals
