About Chip-in Farm
Chip-In Farm was founded in 1944 when Couvee family members “chipped in” to purchase a small farm in Bedford, MA. Today, a visit brings you back to a simpler time when food was local and farms were family run.
Farmer’s Helpers programs offer authentic, hands-on farm experiences for all ages. Participants are given the chance to develop confidence, build community, and learn to become better stewards of their land and environment. We also operate a Petting Farm.
Chip-in farm also operates a General Store where we sell our fresh eggs and our own grass-fed beef & pork. We also carry high-quality local products including Deano’s pasta, Bedford Blueberry Goat Farm goat products, Concord Teacakes baked goods, and Dom’s sausage, steak tips and poultry.
