Elmartin Farm derives its name from the
initials and last name of Everett Lawrence Martin, Sr, father to Everett Lawrence Martin Jr., known as "Gus," who together
with wife, Dodi, and sons, Kim & Shawn, are the current owners / operators of the farm. The ancestral
Martins began farming in Cheshire, MA in 1790.
By the late 1950s, Elmartin Farm had become a major dairy farm
in the Northern Berkshire County. The herd grew to 80 milkers and 80 head of youngstock. Together, they filled-up
the new barn which had been completed in 1952. The barn, with the addition of a milking parlor, remains the focal
point of Elmartin Farm. The fleet of 5 milk trucks are no longer.
Today, Elmartin Farm's dairy days are behind it.
In its place, Elmartin Farm is raising BEEF and PORK for people who want to know from where their food is coming
and how it is raised as you will learn in our full site. In the Spring of 2012, Elmartin formally opened its
farm store.
Our goal as a 21st Century farm is to once again assume a leadership position in the raising of animals
and the conserving our over 400 acres of hay and crop pastures, grazing land, plus apple orchards.
Again, welcome to Elmartin Farm. Enjoy your visit through our full website.
