Our Farming Roots Run Deep

Enjoy year-round dining, seasonal outdoor activities, and private events that cater to your every need.

For us, “local” is a way of life, and has been for more than 360 years.  Located in Natick, Massachusetts, we care for over 65,000 trees on our 160 acre orchard.  In addition to growing 29 varieties of apples, we grow peaches, plums, Asian pears, nectarines, pumpkins, grapes, and hops.  Each individual tree is meticulously pruned by hand in order to ensure that we harvest the best crop possible and we work year-round to craft our beers and hard ciders using fruits grown under our care.  

 

Here at Lookout Farm we are committed to preserving the land as a sustainable, viable farm and what better way to do this than to share a meal and our authentic beers and ciders with our neighbors!

Now and Then...

Belkin Family Lookout Farm is one of the oldest continuously working farms in the United States. The importance of farming cannot be overlooked because, “food feeds us all.”  Lookout Farm strives to share the agricultural experience with our guests by combining agricultural education with outdoor entertainment. In addition to our fruit U-pick, Lookout Farm grows fresh local fruit for wholesale to many regional restaurants and markets as well as farm fresh hard cider and beer.  

Three centuries before Joan and Steve Belkin took stewardship of Lookout Farm in 2005, Natick was just a small settlement west of Boston.

  • 1816: Elijah Perry and family took over and owned the farm for over 40 years

  • 1856: William Hanchett purchased the farm
