Dick's Market Garden stands as a testament to agricultural tradition in the rolling hills of Lunenburg, Massachusetts, where over 260 acres of picturesque farmland tell the story of a second generation family farm. This working farm has grown from its humble beginnings into a cornerstone of the local agricultural community, maintaining the values and practices that have sustained farming families for generations.

Under the stewardship of owner Stephen Violette, the farm operates with the dedication and expertise that comes from years of experience and a deep commitment to quality. Violette works alongside several veteran full-time seasonal employees who bring their knowledge and passion to every aspect of the operation, from tending the fields to managing the farm stand and the numerous farmer's markets where the farm's bounty is shared with the community.

The farm's philosophy centers on freshness, quality, and local connection, with over 95 percent of the products found at their markets grown right on the property. Even their specialty items maintain this commitment to locality, sourcing honey from a partner who keeps hives in their orchard and early corn from a trusted farming relationship built over many years. This dedication to homegrown excellence and community partnerships has earned Dick's Market Garden certification as a compliant farm under the Commonwealth Quality Program, meeting rigorous standards for food safety and environmental practices.
