About the Farm
Sixty years ago, an orchard was planted on what would become Sentinel Farm, and since 1985, Steve and Meg Lanphear have dedicated themselves to preserving and improving this agricultural heritage. Their ten acres are nestled away on a quiet street, creating a peaceful retreat where families can experience authentic farm life during pick-your-own season.
The farm offers a hands-on agricultural experience where visitors can pick apples, meet goats, feed chickens, make their own cider, and enjoy playful activities like the rotten apple slingshot and hay slide. As long-time members of CISA, the Lanphears demonstrate their commitment to supporting local agriculture and sustainable farming practices in their community.
Beyond their on-farm offerings, Sentinel Farm extends its reach through the Belchertown Farmers Markets, bringing their diverse products including apples, maple syrup, and other farm goods directly to the community. Their ventures span pollinator habitat creation, fruit production, and livestock, reflecting a holistic approach to farming that serves both environmental stewardship and agricultural education.
