Canaan Farm

Canaan is now being run by Tendercrop Farm of Newbury. It is fabulous. They opened today and I stopped just because they had fresh eggs which are hard to find. The price for eggs, was 2.79…great price. Vegetables so gorgeous I wanted to buy as i belong to a CSA I needed nothing. I did buy harvest corn for my door, a bag of just picked apples some mums they grew themselves and a to die for blueberry pie I NEVER buy pies as I Make them This pie was as good as any i could make and the price was right. This is a great addition to Wenham

They supplied the flowers for my wedding recently. I brought them my mason jars, they arranged their wildflowers beautifully. They are lovely people to work with, and flexible. I got tons of comments on the flowers. Thank You!

I was excited to stop here for some fresh fruit & veg on our way home from Crane Beach. However, I was very disappointed. We spent $ 30 on strawberries, blueberries, plums, peaches, corn, and a loaf of home made olive oil bread. It was on the pricier side and much of their produce was from other farms. I know their ½ pint blueberries were from New Jersey and the strawberries were from Canada. Also, the strawberries I bought on Sunday were found to have moldy strawberries at the bottom of the wooden container the very next afternoon on Monday. I ended up throwing ¹⁄₃ of the container away. What a waste of money! I would’ve been a happy camper if everything was fresh and delicious, but that was not the case.
The corn and bread was good while the peaches were perfectly ripened and delicious, just the way you expect fruit to taste purchased from a farm during a New England summer. The blueberries, strawberries, and plums cost much more than the grocery store & were comparable in quality if not slightly less desirable. However, the staff was very friendly and sociable.

This farm stand has amazing produce; purple potato fingerlings, kale, various types of squash (including cousa squash, my personal favorite and difficult to find!), beautiful fruits and a great array of hard to find items.
My father lives in the area and we stopped by on a whim. The staff was super friendly and they also had lots of plants (including herbs and blooming squash plants) for sale that you could go plant in your own garden.
I’m a HUGE fan and can’t wait to return!

A trip to Canaan Farm marks the beginning of fall and spring for me. The produce is local and the owners are helpful and friendly. Their fresh baked pies are perfect for tailgating and holiday parties and I have to hide their cookies from my family. When the sunflowers are in season, they are spectacular! We always get our mums and Christmas tree there too. The owners even know most of their customers by name!
10/​31/​2015: Canaan Farm is now owned and operated by Tendercrop Farm. The farm looks pretty much the same but the new owners have expanded the food and gift offerings. Still friendly but I do miss the original owners. The upside is that Tendercrop will be open year ’round!

I really enjoyed coming an seeing familiar faces during the spring an fall seasons. What did they all go they were so very helpful when every I was choosing veggies or plants.

Okay, there are no pizzas. I don’t know where that reviewer was, but it wasn’t here. Even the owner looked at me like I had two heads when I asked if they had any.
Nice place, lots of stuff, not all of it is from their farm, but oh my, just driving by that row of basil… as high as my knee! Such a lovely thing…

We just discovered their fresh baked multi-​grain sour dough bread. Oh, is that yummy for toast. My husband thinks they bake it there, but I mean to find out so I can get me some. It’s worth the trip to the farm stand just to buy it. The people there are really nice and laid back too. Its definiitely hippie heaven.

I don’t know when I enjoy stopping here more — in the summer to buy fresh-​picked lettuce, corn, tomatoes and other vegetables, or in December when they are selling Christmas trees, wreaths, plants and more.
Canaan Farm is right on Route 1A in Wenham, just five minutes up the road from the clamber and clutter of North Beverly.
