The Farm

History
The Brigham family emigrated from England and became one of the founding families of the Sudbury Plantation in the mid-1600s. John Brigham bought the farm in 1824 and it has been passed down through six generations to siblings Jane and Chip, the current farmers. John Brigham, a wheelwright, was mentioned in Thoreau's journals after their encounters near the Sudbury River. Our crops and operation have changed over the years, from a commercial enterprise for the Boston Market, to a greenhouse/winter crop production, to a wholesale and retail business in the mid-1900s to our current farm stand and markets. When the barn burned down in 1971 the current free-standing farm stand was built. The farm currently employs a crew of enthusiastic local high school and college students to carry out much of the field work. Many have returned to work for the farm for multiple seasons. One such worker has taken the jump from farm hand to becoming one of the youngest farmers in Concord. With a grant awarded to him by the Stone Soup Committee of Concord, MA, he works an acre of Brigham Farm land and resells through Brigham and the markets the farm attends.
