Alfalfa Farms
About us
WELCOME TO THE NEXT CHAPTER OF ALFALFA FARM 🌾
For more than 300 years, Alfalfa Farm has been part of the fabric of Topsfield and the North Shore — a place shaped by agriculture, family, hard work, and community.
At its height, the farm encompassed more than 500 acres and was a renowned dairy operation, known for its award-winning Golden Guernsey cows. For generations, the land served as a working farm and an important part of the agricultural heritage of the region.
Although the dairy operation eventually closed in the 1970s, the story of Alfalfa Farm never ended.
In 1975, Richard Adelman acquired approximately 11 acres of the original farm with a commitment to preserving its agricultural heritage. In 1995, he planted the first vines and established Alfalfa Farm Winery, transforming the former cow barn into a welcoming destination for wine, agriculture, and agri-tourism.
That vision helped preserve an important piece of the farm’s history — and today, we are honored to carry that legacy forward.
A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS
After an extensive restoration and transformation, Alfalfa Farm officially opened for business on Mother’s Day 2026.
Since opening our doors, we have had the incredible privilege of welcoming thousands of amazing people to the farm. Friends, families, neighbors, visitors, celebrations, live music, food, laughter, and countless memories have already become part of the next chapter of this historic property.
And we’re just getting started.
Today, Alfalfa Farm is evolving into a destination where the history of the land meets craft, hospitality, agriculture, and community.
