The setting
“Fresh cider donuts, mums, pumpkins, sunflower field when in season, farm animals , fresh fruits and vegetables - including of course -crunchy apples.”
“This farm has corn and peppers that smell exactly like the one from my grandparents garden.”
What couples say again and again
“Gorgeous colorful foliage, pumpkins, apples (of course, though we didn't pick any), farm animals, apple cider and donuts, and the cutest market!”
“Other things we loved: the staff was friendly, the flowers and animals were great for kids, the apple orchard was picture perfect with small trees that our kids could easily reach.”
From the reviews
Attended the "Senior Day" for the Town of Peabody MA with my friend ETA Mike Slater performing his show! Beautiful day, great crowd, great show and Awesome venue "Brooksby Farms"
Brooksby farm is an adorable farm in Peabody, very close to the North Shore mall. It has animals and feed for purchase (.50 cents) the kids always love that and look forward to it. They have a farm store with lots of local goodies.
Went for a quick pit stop to grab a donut but ended up liking the chilled apple cider drink way more! They had a huge variety of fresh jellies and apple butters along with fresh produce straight from the farm! Will definitely be back for more!
Pretty nice place, but a bit boring for us. We picked peaches and tomatoes. They are delicious. And that’s it. You cannot spend much time there because there is nothing to do there after picking a small bag or two of peaches. One bag is $20. No playground, a few old toy cars for kids, and a few animals.
Getting married at Brooksby Farm
Brooksby Farm comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Brooksby Farm
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Brooksby Farm — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
