Foppemas Farm had its beginnings in 1983 when I decided to leave my full-time job at a local orchard and start my own farming operation. We owned 3 acres of land at our home on Burdon Street, Sutton, and we rented 7 acres of land on Boston Road, also in Sutton. During that first year, we raised strawberries, sweet corn, tomatoes, squash and cucumbers.
