Company description Youngs Farm is a multi-generational family run farm and bakery that has been in operation since 1892.  We are in year 2 of farming sustainably and organically - we farm approximately 20 acres with all produce selling through our retail store or used in our kitchen.  Anything we cannot grow, we try to purchase from other local farms as much as possible.  We also produce a large variety of scratch made baked goods - cookies, pies, cakes, quick breads etc., as well as soups, jams and dips through the commercial kitchen at our farm.  Our store also features select house wares and specialty grocery items.  We are open from February through Christmas, Tuesday through Sunday.
