Waterfront Farms- From Littles Lane Newbury, MA

Waterfront Farms – Located at Newbury, Ma.  If you didn’t work here as a kid you knew someone who did.  Richard Walsh has been farming this land since about 1945.  Staring out growing vegetables, but ending with flowers.  Locate it

So where is Richard Walsh now?  This photo was taken in June of 2008 on a visit to his home.  Up until 2006  he has been planting his dahlia bulbs and picking them himself.  Richard is about 87 years old. This just goes to show a little hard work never killed anybody!

Workers picked for Ronnie at Meadow Brook Farm, Tendercrop Farms, Marini Farm, etc…

Please remember Joe Marini at Marini Farm at Ipswich, Ma.

Anyone who has ever worked for Richard will remember these tools.  The wooden stick was for planting pumpkin seeds, the knife was used to cut flowers and of course the weeder.  These tools were from circa 1981 + – 15 yrs.
