Greenhouses
The main greenhouse was built in 1912 as a glass greenhouse with wooden sash bars, used to grow tomatoes, rhubarb and other crops. At that time there were five other greenhouse growers in Nine Acre Corner, most of them with four or more greenhouses. Our greenhouse is still in operation, although the glass has been replaced by plastic, and coal has been replaced by oil for heating. We also have several hoop houses covered in plastic.
Chris Dooley rented our greenhouses and operated them as his own business “Brigham Greenhouses” for 35 years. Chris retired in 2025. Chris is mentoring and passing on the legacy to Tim Hupe, who had previously worked as Chris’s assistant for several years. Tim is excited to keep running the business with the same standards and quality that Chris always brought to his customers. The new website home for the greenhouse operation is www.rootedinconcord.com. Follow Tim on Instagram or you can call the farm stand at 978-287-4334.

family history of brigham farm
Our story...
John Brigham, a wheelwright who made wooden wagon wheels, purchased the farm on Fitchburg Turnpike in the 1820s. The farm was a typical New England subsistence farm for several generations, with a few horses, cows, pigs, and chickens, raising food for home consumption and selling any surplus. Early in the 1900s Harry Brigham became a market gardener growing rhubarb and other crops for sale at retail and to the Boston wholesale market. His son George Brigham grew crops for the Boston market and for other local farm stands, also continuing retail sales at our own stand. After the second world war, George specialized in sweet corn, leasing a number of parcels of farm land, most of which are now occupied by houses, schools, and office buildings. The sixth generation, Jane Brigham Bailey and Charles (Chip) Poutasse, operate the farm and farm stand today, with a home farm of five acres and about 4 acres of rented land. Brigham Farm offers an array of farm grown produce sold at its stand.
