Brooksby Farm, managed by the City of
Peabody, is a 275 acre working farm and conservation area. Visitors can pick apples, strawberries and raspberries at the orchards, visit the petting zoo, browse the farm stand, and hike or cross-country ski on the many trails on the property. Although close to the hubbub of the Boston suburbs, Brooksby Farms is a 250-acre island of serenity. Footpaths and trails cover the acreage of this farm and orchards. Bring a sled or rent cross-country skis and snowshoes and wander through the rare evergreens of the Woodland Garden.
Brooksby Farm is also the location of the historic Nathaniel Felton Sr. and Nathaniel Felton Jr. homes, the Smith Barn, and the Woodland Gardens, which are operated by the
Peabody Historical Society.
