Weir River Farm

Weir River Farm is a protected agricultural area in Hingham encompassing 75 acres of fields, pastures, oak woodlands, and cedar forests along the Weir River. The property features two miles of walking trails where visitors can explore the grounds and observe farm animals grazing.

The property was owned by artist Polly Thayer Starr before being transferred to The Trustees of Reservations in 1999. This change in ownership marked the beginning of its protection and opening to the public as a preserved agricultural space.

The farm practices agriculture through a community-supported program that delivers organic vegetables and grass-fed meat to local members throughout the year. This direct connection between farmers and families shapes how people relate to the land and food production here.

The farm is open to visitors from June through October, offering trail walking, animal observation, and shopping at the farm store. Wear comfortable shoes as trails traverse varied terrain and can be muddy after rain.

From the farm's elevated position, visitors can see the Boston skyline across the fields while Belted Galloway cattle graze nearby. This surprising blend of city views and rural grazing creates an unusual and memorable vantage point.
