Weir River Farm, Protected farm area in Hingham, Massachusetts, United States.
Weir River Farm is a protected agricultural area in Hingham, Massachusetts, with fields, pastures, oak woodlands, and cedar forests running along the Weir River. Two marked walking trails cross the property, allowing visitors to move through the different types of terrain and observe the farm animals.
The land belonged to artist Polly Thayer Starr before being transferred to The Trustees of Reservations in 1999. Since then, it has been managed as a protected area open to the public.
The farm is worked by local farmers who grow vegetables and raise cattle for families in the area through a community-supported program. Visitors can watch the animals grazing in the fields and buy fresh products at the farm store.
The farm is open to visitors from June through October. The trails can be muddy after rain, so sturdy footwear is a good idea before heading out.
From a high point on the property, visitors can see the Boston skyline across the open fields while Belted Galloway cattle graze nearby. This breed is easy to spot because of the wide white band that circles the middle of each animal.
