About Us
Fairmount Fruit Farm wants to create a place where people can enjoy the comfort, personality and local freshness of goods that only a small town farm can offer on a year round basis.
The spring and summer months bring in flowers, U-pick strawberries and fresh garden vegetables that give way to the fruits of fall. Beginning in September, bring your friends and family to enjoy a hayride and pick your own apples straight from our trees. You can also visit us starting in November for Thanksgiving pies and for fresh cut Christmas trees, wreaths and decorations to fulfill all of your holiday needs. No matter what season it is, when you enter our farm stand you will always see local products either from our own back yard or from your community's small local businesses.
History:
In 1920 James Koshivas came to America from Greece and purchased the farm from an industrialist in Worcester named Morse, who had owned it for many years. James had a vision of apple trees gracing the farm and making a living for his growing family. Today, over 90 years later the third, fourth, and fifth generations are carrying on the vision, that began when a young man moved his family to the farm from Greece so long ago.
We still farm over 20 acres filled with apple, peach, and pear trees. We grow about 10 varieties of apples including the very popular Macoun and Honey Crisp in addition to our variety of strawberries that are grown in our greenhouse. We are open year round offering a variety of fresh produce, free range eggs, dairy products, baked goods and products made by other local vendors.
