Fivefork Farms began as a sketch on a sheet of paper. Today, it is a nationally-recognized farm tucked away slopeside in the suburban Worcester County town of Upton. Just 40 minutes outside of Boston sits the family-owned flower farm recognized nationally for its impressive bloom size, color, quality, and variety.
Massive dahlias in over 240 varieties
The farm’s claim to fame are it’s massive dahlias. Growing over 240 varieties of dahlias, Fiveform Farms offers one of the most prolific dahlia farms so close to Boston. Some of the blooms are so large that a singular stem competes with the size of a head. Seasonally, Fivefork Farms opens up the dahlia fields for a pick-your-own moment.
What’s happening at the farmstand?
In season, Fivefork Farms opens its self-serve farmstand so visitors can shop the locally-grown flowers, produce, vintage finds, gifts, farming tools, and sometimes snacks. Relax in one of the Adirondack chairs and enjoy the crisp air and flower fields below.
While Fivefork Farms is known for its showstopping dahlias, they produce gorgeous blooms throughout the season, from novelty tulips in spring to roses later in summer. Visit in person to experience the farmstand or order a CSA or flower share and have them delivered straight to your door!
The farm also hosts seasonal events such as a Dahlia Dinner which combines a u-pick experience with dinner in the dahlia fields!
