The farm is a 100 acre diversified fruit and vegetable operation and also grows greenhouse bedding plants and hanging baskets in season. They strive to grow and provide the best fresh produce in season using best agricultural practices in a family friendly atmosphere.
 
The  season kicks off each year in May with our greenhouse bedding plants and Mother’s Day baskets.  Strawberries follow in June with “pick your own” for the family.  Sweet corn, tomatoes, peaches and all your salad greens come in July, followed by U-pick raspberries in Aug-Sept. The fall is ripe with pumpkins, squash, mums and corn stalks.
 
The  farm stand flourishes in early June with strawberries, lettuce and peas. They  also carry a unique line of gourmet preserves, salad dressings, cheeses, local eggs and Nashoba Brook Bakery breads.  July starts their fresh flower bouquets and sunflower bunches. They  bake fresh cookies and fruit pies as well as sweet corn pizza and proudly continue to offer premium hard ice cream at service windows.
 
They  are open May-December and offer convenient hours to bring your family for lunch or enjoy a quiet sunset in a natural farm setting.
 
New Beginning: The new Sunshine Farm roadside stand was built on the property and finished Oct. 2003.  It now houses a modern produce area, ice cream shop and bakery.  Come on by and check out our new farm stand will reminisce about the old stand.
 
History: in 1927, James D. Geoghegan started Sunshine Dairy on Union Ave in Framingham.  In March 1937 he purchased the farm in Sherborn with a cow barn that milked 45 Holsteins.  A retail store and bottling plant was built that summer at the farm.  Milk was iced and home delivered by horse and wagon in the 30’s and trucks in the 40’s.  In the 1950’s an ice cream manufacturing plant was added to the dairy.  Sunshine Dairy Ice Cream was a premium 14% butterfat ice cream, “made on the farm.”  “The Dairy” was THE PLACE to hang out in the 40’s and 50’s before the days of shopping malls and convenience stores.  Eventually boarding horses replaced cows and strawberries and sweet corn replaced hay.  A family style restaurant also flourished on the farm through the 80’s.  1996 marked the end
