Chip-In Farm was founded in 1944 when members of the Couvee family “chipped in” to purchase a small farm in Bedford, MA. Today, a visit brings you back to a simpler time when food was local and farms were family run. Through our educational programs, we create meaningful connections to agriculture and the environment for children in our outdoor classrooms. We partner with the Bedford Recreation Department to offer both drop-off and after school programs that include hands-on activities, real farm work, and outdoor play. These programs are available for kids from preschool to grade 5 and run seasonally. This fall, we're also offering new classes focused on horse education and care featuring our miniature horses Clyde & Carrot Cake!
There's something for everyone at Chip-in Farm! We hope to see you on the farm real soon.
