Family pride isn't a catch phrase at Wilson Farms, but the mission statement
by which we've operated since 1884. And through the years we've been fortunate enough to
be recognized for our efforts.
This year's Annual Taste of our Towns 2003 was a huge success for Wilson Farms. Our entrée of Bandol wine braised lamb with flageolet beans and farm fresh vegetables brought home a first place win, and our scrumptious raspberry gateau won 3rd place in the dessert catagory. Wilson Farms donated food for the event in all three categories, which were judged by local chiefs and culinary experts.
Boston Magazine recognized us (in 1998)
with a 'Best of Boston' award for having "The Best General Produce." "This
farm's tomatoes are the best summer-heat antidote --fleshy, cool, never
mealy. The papayas are huge, and the corn --well, teens says it's worth
biting into, braces be damned. Wilson Farms has every fruit and veggie you
need for your Labor Day cookout."
Boston Magazine recognized us again (in 1999) with another 'Best of Boston'
award; this time as "Best Produce/Farm Stand. " "A 115-year old fantasy land
for Alice Waters wannabes, bringing fresh food to the fringes. If it's good
enough for Julia Child, it's good enough for us."
In July of 2000, this from The Boston Herald; "Alan and Lynne Wilson will
open their private gardens surrounding their 1884 farm as part of a
statewide garden tour to benefit landscape beatification and preservation
and horticultural education across the Commonwealth."
In 1999 Wilson Farms won the Innovator Award given by the Garden Center
Merchandising and Manager magazine. "Reaching for the future by honoring the
past, Wilson Farms modernizes while maintaining its 18th century atmosphere
and personalized services."
In August 1992, Better Homes & Gardens magazine had this to say about us,
"Family commitment, team spirit, and the highest quality products and
service --these components spell success." |
