Holly Hill Farm

olly Hill Farm is a certified organic farm set on 140 acres of beautiful conservation land in the seaside village of Cohasset, MA. As Cohasset’s
last working farm, Holly Hill has been in the White family for 7 generations. The land has been farmed since the early 1600s, when its scenic salt marshes provided hay and livestock grazing.

Welcoming visitors 365 days a year, Holly Hill offers organic plant sales and gardening workshops, plus al fresco yoga and farm-to-table dinners. Their award-winning farm stand (named to Best of Boston in 2017) offers farm-grown fresh vegetables and herbs, flowers, eggs and honey as well as thoughtfully curated and locally sourced artisanal products.

Holly Hill Farm is active in their community as well, with programs and partnerships in 40 Massachusetts schools. Along with a thriving summer camp and teen community service programs, Holly Hill Farm connects with over 5,000 children each year to teach the next generation about
nature, ecology and sustainable farming.

Holly Hill gets successful crop growth in part from the organic products delivered by Progressive Grower. Early season orders include Vermont Compost Fort Vee, a compost-based soil with the handling and watering characteristics of a peat-perlite mix. Particularly good for growers transplanting smaller celled flats, and flower starts into hanging baskets, Fort Vee is blended from composted manure and plant materials.

Later in the spring, Holly Hill will bring in cover crop seed from Progressive, favoring Hairy Vetch to enrich the soil with nitrogen and then grow as a cover crop for green manure. To get the summer growing season off to a good start, the farm uses RootShield® PLUS+, an OMRI Listed biological fungicide to control damaging root diseases.

The competitive pricing and frequent delivery schedule offered by
Progressive Grower help the non-profit farm stay on budget even while growing to the highest organic standards. “We appreciate that Progressive Grower can get us all the organic products we need, along with basic supplies like gloves and vine clips, all in the same order,” notes farm manager Jasmin Callahan. “This year we also decided to add a BCS
Chipper/Shredder attachment to the BCS Tractor we purchased from them last year, which has made keeping up with farm work a breeze. They make sourcing supplies easy and affordable.”
