Farm Evolution. In its earliest days, Durocher Farm was a small start-up operation consisting of some chickens, a couple of cows, a borrowed horse, and a used truck. Over the years, the farm evolved into a large poultry farm followed by a 150-acre vegetable farm with its produce trucked to the Boston wholesale market. All eight of the Durocher children worked on the family farm.
PYO Farm in 1975. In 1975, Hervey’s eldest son, Hervey Jr., established the pick-your-own farm together with his wife Joan and three children, and the help of his brother Ray. The farm specialized in strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. The last strawberry harvest was in 2001, the last raspberry harvest in 2011, and the last blueberry harvest in 2020.
Farm Today. The farm is owned by members of the Durocher family and is sectioned into separate corn and hay fields.
