Plymouth County Farm Opens Today

It is that time of the year again to visit the Plymouth County farm to find over 75,000 plants, potted flowers and herbs ready for residential gardeners.

The horticultural center, which opened today, is located off Obery Street, in Plymouth, near the Courthouse. Both the farm and petting zoo are open seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

If you are looking for the perfect basil for your pesto, mint leaves for a mojito or rosemary for your chicken dish look no further, The Plymouth County Farm is introducing the new “edible collection” featuring flavorful herbs and an accompanying recipe. Another great addition to the inventory are “patio” plants which are miniature in size providing those with limited space the opportunity to still enjoy fresh produce, herbs or flowers all season, according to Sheriff Joseph McDonald.  

The farm staff, made of six corrections officers who are also trained horticulturalists, are available to help area gardeners with tips on what varieties would work best for their specific needs. All plant sale proceeds fund inmate rehabilitative programs at the Plymouth County Correctional Facility.
