Since 1762, more than 13 generations of farmers continue to share the same lineage and the same passion.
ALLEN FARM SHEEP & WOOL COMPANY
The Allen Farm, Martha’s Vineyard’s oldest historic farm, is located on South Road in Chilmark, Massachusetts.
Jonathan Allen originally purchased the farm in 1762, and his oldest son, Tristram built the still-standing timber-framed farmhouse in 1770. The farm is about 100 acres of pastureland with only the South shore's barrier beach and Chilmark Pond separating it from the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Clarissa and Mitchell, with their son Nathaniel and his family, have permanently preserved the land on the ocean side to ensure that this breathtaking view will always be a meadow by the sea. With a respect for its history, this family remains deeply committed to preserving and sustaining their farm.
