Warner Farm
The story of our farm begins nearly 300 years ago, in 1718. Warner Farm is one of the oldest and longest running family farms in New England. Since that time, ten generations of Warners have farmed in Sunderland.
The Warner’s, originally from England, migrated to America in the 1620s and settled in Sunderland (then called Swampfield) in the late 1710s.

Today, father and son, Mike and David Wissemann, continue that tradition by growing a wide range of crops, while following strict guidelines to maintain the land. The farm now consists of 125 acres of fertile river valley soil. This allows the Warner Farm family to offer fresh produce at the Millstone, through their Eastern Massachusetts CSA, and for wholesale throughout the Pioneer Valley.
Warner Farm is also the home of Mike’s Maze, an eight-acre corn maze that attracts over 8000 visitors to the farm each year. The Maze is open weekends and holidays September through early November.
