Tour the Annisquam Herb Farm June 29th “Buy It Now Auction” for up to 30 people on Bidding for Good, Annisquam Village Church.
Join us for a rare opportunity to explore the grounds of the Annisquam Herb Farm, tucked away on the outskirts of the village. Once part of the historic Norton Farm, which stretched all the way to Ipswich Bay, the property now spans three-quarters of an acre and retains its rich natural heritage.
Much of this enchanting landscape has been left in its natural state, allowing native and wild plants to thrive—many brought in by the animals that now call this land home. As you tour the grounds, you may catch a glimpse of foxes, coyotes, rabbits, gray and red squirrels, groundhogs, chipmunks, ducks, and a wide variety of birds.
Come experience the quiet magic of this land, learn about its history and ecology, and support the Annisquam Village Church in the process.
**How It All Began**
I stumbled upon the property by chance—no intention to buy, just curiosity. The listing read: *“Used to be an herb farm.”* When I pulled up at the end of Dennis Court, I spotted the wooden frame of a greenhouse below. A greenhouse! What a delightful and unexpected surprise.
The days that followed were a blur—calculating costs, making an offer, and, to my amazement, having it accepted. Once the purchase was finalized, the focus turned to planning. We set out to enlarge the main building, connecting it to the potting shed and greenhouse. We added a new kitchen, another bedroom and bath, and those long-missing closets—always with the goal of making the addition look as though it had always been there.
