The Friends of Adams Farm is a group of area residents dedicated to the preservation of Adams Farm. The Adams Farm property includes approximately 365 acres of town-owned land, additional acreage held in adjacent land conservation trusts, and land owned by the New England Forestry Foundation and the Norfolk County Agricultural School, for a total of over 700 acres open to the public for low-impact recreation.
By maintaining the farm in its natural state, the Friends of Adams Farm hope to foster a greater appreciation of the outdoors among local residents and impress upon them the importance of protecting the open spaces we have left for future generations.
On Saturday, September 24, from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. Adams Farm will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a day of festivities, food and fun for all ages.

New Boardwalk on the Red Trail
Lots of planning and teamwork went into the construction of the new boardwalk on the Red Trail, opening up a beautiful section of Adams Farm that in the past was often too wet and muddy to be enjoyed. Click here to learn more about the new boardwalk.
Donations to the Friends of Adams Farm make projects like the new boardwalk possible. If you’d like to make a donation, click here.
Would you like to have a memento of Adams Farm to enjoy at home and contribute to the upkeep of the Farm at the same time? Kristine Vasil created a jigsaw puzzle featuring photos of mushrooms she spotted while hiking at the Farm. A portion of the proceeds from sales of each puzzle will be used to maintain and enhance Adams Farm as much-needed open space so those who live in and around Walpole can enjoy it for generations to come. Download an order form.A new trail map of Adams Farm has been created with new trail markers highlighting several trails. In addition, new location numbers have been posted at trail intersections to help hikers identify their exact location while exploring the Farm, and to make it easier for police and fire personnel to locate people at the Farm in the event of an emergency. The Monarch Trail behind the barn (marked in yellow on the map) and the Lehto Trail on the opposite side of the entry road (marked in dotted red on the map) are great short hikes for those who don’t have much time or who are hiking with young children.
