Marshall Farm Stand


Marshalls Farm Stand Curbside Ordering Greenhouses 978-283-2168 144 Concord Street, Gloucester, MA  01930

Family owned and operated—for many generations, the Marshall family has farmed the land on the North Shore of Boston.
Current COVID-19 Information
WE ARE OPEN! We decided to open the farm stand early this year to give our customers an option other than shopping at a large supermarket. At this time, we will have a limited inventory. Our main concern is the health and safety of our customers and our staff! Therefore, we will be offering curbside pickup exclusively for farm stand products.

Although we are not allowing our customers into the farm stand during this time, our greenhouses are open to customers. We are following CDC and Gloucester Board of Health guidelines. All employees and customers must wear an appropriate face mask covering their nose and mouth and social distancing is required. To help with social distancing, we are marking aisles as one way in the greenhouses and in the plant display areas. We are also offering curbside pickup for plants.

CURBSIDE ORDERING
Family owned and operated – for many generations, the Marshall family has farmed the land on the North Shore of Boston.

We pride ourselves in our selection of homegrown & locally grown fresh seasonal produce and in our abundant variety of annual & perennial flowers and vegetable and herb plants.

As the season unfolds, our Farm Stand choices let you enjoy the very best flavors of local produce, bakeries, dairies and butchers. Stop by soon…and often.
If anyone is looking for fresh produce, meats, Richardson ice cream, eggs, flowers, veggie plants, bags of soil, compost, cow manure for your garden go to.

Dinner at the Boat House Grille

We went out with some friends last weekend and had dinner at the Boat House Grille in Essex 

We go there fairly often and the Brussel Sprouts might be one of my favorite menu items on the North Shore.

Here is some of what we ordered the other night…forgot to get a photo of the brussel sprouts. Sigh.  All four of us agreed that dinner was tremendous!

Yes, that's a water inner harbor view_Pier 23 Kitchen restaurant for sale_23 East Main Street_Gloucester MA_20191230_photograph copyright © c ryan.jpg

Pier 23 Kitchen on 23 East Main Street closed. The restaurant is for sale: contact (978) 887-9895. Pier 23 owners and AJ’s contributed major upgrades and renovations at this busy spot. (Mooters, LaRosas, and Cacciatores preceded AJ’s at the Harbor.)

The new sign for Oliver’s Harbor Restaurant and Bar features tiles at each end and heralds a change in ownership at 64 Main Street. The Bragas sold Trio which they had reconfigured after opening Italiano Restaurant in the former La Trattoria space and completing a major renovation and build out replete with a new industrial kitchen. Last year they added additional outdoor seating.

Toby Told Me About Rino’s Place In East Boston About 6 Years Ago. It’s Everything He Said It Would Be

Our waitress Diana was so perfectly attentive. The food was as good if not better Italian that I’ve had anywhere. The prices sinfully inexpensive.

It’s worth the drive from Gloucester.

While here Mohamed Sanu comes in for takeout. $26 order and he leaves a $100 tip for the kitchen. Class act.

258 Saratoga Street East Boston.
