History

For over 100 years, the Wightman Family has been growing and selling fruits and vegetables at the farm.  In 1922, Albert Wightman and his wife, Laetitia, purchased the first of the land that was to become Wightman Farms.  Albert planted fruit trees and vegetables and drove through the nearby town of Morristown selling his harvests.  Gradually the customers began to come to the farm.  Even today longtime customers remember the days when the fruit and vegetables were sold from a table under the mulberry tree across the street from our current farm market and cider mill.  Today, members of the third generation of the Wightman family (along with close friends) continue the tradition of selling the fruits and vegetables grown on the surrounding land.

The head farmer, Adam, has worked and farmed this land for over 25 years. Adam started as a teenager working in the market.  He worked his way up to be where is today and has ventured out over the years trying new farming techniques, seedlings and seeds bringing the farm to new heights!

2023 begins the ninth year of the popular Wightman Farms' CSA program. Wightman's CSA often includes new crops like Cantaloupe, Garlic Scapes, Kohlrabi and Fingerling potatoes as well as our super sweet & delicious strawberries, peaches and apples! The weekly boxes provide customers with local  produce freshly harvested specifically for our CSA members. For more information click on the CSA tab
