Orr's Family Farm was established in 2007 by Andrew Orr in Westport, Massachusetts. While working at the former Wood Farm throughout his high school years, Andrew had the opportunity to purchase a 14-acre parcel of land upon graduation and began planting immediately. He started with a wide variety of vegetables and several varieties of sweet corn, which quickly became his specialty. The farm uses sustainable practices including biodegradable mulch instead of synthetic plastic, and several types of cover crops to reduce weed growth, retain moisture, and add nutrients to the soil.
Andrew and his father Mike run the farm together, growing an impressive array of produce including unusual plants not commonly found in the area. The farm also raises grass-fed beef with animals treated with the utmost respect. Their greenhouse allows early spring starts, and plant sales begin in May. A unique feature is their sugar cane crop, grown experimentally for the past few years -- unusual for southeastern Massachusetts -- with ten-foot plants ready for harvest in September and October.
