Boxwell Farm: The Repost Round-up

One of the most intriguing parts of the early years of Boxwell Reservation was its working farm operation. Most people know that a farm was on the property, but don’t know where it was or what it involved. We tackled this topic in a series of posts in December 2015. It seemed like a good time to revisit those.

Lest there be any question, none of the meat or produce from the farm was ever used for summer camp meals. It was all to raise revenue to help offset the cost of summer camp, which was considered a revenue loser. The operation was shuttered in the wake of the Akers investigation. 1975 was the last summer of Boxwell the Farm.
