Eastleigh Farm Retail Store Under New Management

In addition to managing the popular Framingham Farmers’ Market, Jacqueline Meninno is now also managing Eastleigh Farm’s retail store.

The retail store is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

In addition to raw milk, ice cream, and cheese made on site, Menino will be introducing some Farmers’ Market favorites to the store, including Great Harvest Bread and El Recreo Coffee.

Meninno said she is working on bringing some other new ideas and products to the farm, too.

This week’s ice cream flavor is dutch apple.

Eastleigh Farm dates back to the 1900s. It was a family-owned Guernsey Dairy Farm until 1981. From 1981 to 1996, it operated as a beef farm.

Seven year ago, Doug Stephan began reconverting the farm back to dairy production.

In the fall of 2009, the farm began selling raw milk. The farm also sells yogurt and organic eggs.

Editor’s Note: This Thursday, Oct. 30, is the final Framingham Farmers’ Market of the season. It will be open from noon to 5:30 p.m. at the Framingham Centre Common.
