Brooksby Farm, managed by the City of Peabody, is a 275 acre working farm and conservation area. Visitors can pick apples, strawberries and raspberries at the orchards, visit the petting zoo, browse the farm stand, hike or cross-country ski on the many trails on the property.
Not far from two hectic malls, Brooksby Farms is a 250-acre island of serenity in Peabody. Footpaths and trails wind through ancient houses, huge red barns and 65 acres of orchards. Bring a sled or rent cross-country skis and snowshoes and wander through the rare evergreens of the Woodland Garden.
Brooksby Farm is also the location of the historic Nathaniel Felton Sr. and Nathaniel Felton Jr. homes, the Smith Barn, and the Woodland Gardens, which are operated by the Peabody Historical Society.
