Owl Rock Farm is a family operation run by Nathan and Sage, their two young children, and the many friends and family who come to help out. This intimate approach to farming reflects their belief in community and shared stewardship of the land they purchased in 2020.

The farm represents a passionate commitment to agricultural heritage, focusing on big trees and old apple varieties that carry messages from New England's collective farming past. After years working under great orchard mentors, Nathan and Sage developed a deep appreciation for traditional farm stewardship that emphasizes resilience and adaptation. Their philosophy centers on the understanding that old trees and regionally-developed fruit varieties offer superior resistance to drought and disease while being better adapted to local climate and pests.

What began as an allure for big trees has evolved into a long-term vision of gentle renovation and management. The farm now boasts over 50 varieties of heritage and antique apples, including Baldwin and Golden Russet alongside more unusual varieties, complemented by mature trees bearing familiar favorites like McIntosh, Cortland, and Empire. Their ultimate goal is creating an orchard where children can play and grow, embodying their belief that farming should nurture both the land and the next generation.
