Our farm staff is made up of six correction officers who are
also trained horticulturalists; The officers supervise an inmate
crew who raise plants and care for the animals on the 90-acre
farm.
The farm is now open year round—providing a greater rehabilitation
experience for our inmates.

Kids
young and old enjoy visiting our Petting Zoo. Families
come to know the animals, like Mary the Cow, Beak the
Chicken, and Franco the Tortoise. A trip to the Petting
Zoo is always free. |

Inmates
are able to work 7-days a week on the farm. The work instills
a sense of accomplishment, accountability and lets the men
learn what it feels like to put in a hard day’s work.
All farm proceeds fund inmate rehabilitation programs on the
farm and inside the Correctional Facility.
The Farm
is currently open 7 days a week from 9am to 3pm. From Memorial
Day to Labor Day, the Farm remains open from 9am to 5pm.
Find the farm off Rt. 3, exit 5 on Obery Street in Plymouth.
The entrance is just prior to the Registry of Deeds and new
Plymouth Trial Court.
