We offer pick-your-own flowers from the flower labyrinth from late June through October, priced by the stem. If you are interested in buying flowers for your wedding please contact the farmer (contact info at the bottom of the page). See this newsletter from last year for an idea of the flower selection.
We just harvested hops on the farm with Peak Organic Brewing! Taste us in their pale ale! A picture and more pictures. We are going to expand our hop production and go hopping mad!
The farm was just featured in the Boston Globe!

The mission of Blue Heron Organic Farm is to increase the availability of locally produced food and to raise awareness about ecologically sound farming practices. Through selling produce from one of the few remaining organic farm stands in the area, offering a pick-your-own flower garden (as well as PYO raspberries, peas, and cherry tomatoes), guiding volunteers, creating a healthy and fun environment for children and establishing regular community events, Blue Heron Organic Farm aims to promote a deeper sense of community among the residents of Lincoln. Through supplying Boston area restaurants with local Certified Organic produce and donating what we do not sell to soup kitchens and shelters, we involve the surrounding communities as well.
