KEEPIN' IT RURAL

Passionate about growing &

preserving local agriculture.

 

Settled in 1719, the Town of Stafford originated as a small agricultural community - it’s in our roots - and 300 years later that same lifestyle not only continues, but extends to nearly every corner of town. We invite you to explore the homegrown side of Stafford, where roadside stands are piled high with seasonal produce and farm-fresh commodities are created with integrity. 

With over 30 agricultural-based businesses and operations extending across 58-square miles, there’s no shortage of home-grown goodness to explore in Stafford!

 

So stay, relax and meander Stafford’s back roads,  they’ll lead you to berry picking, maple syrup producers, fresh meats, scenic vistas, unique farms, sustainable food and more.
