Tougas Family Farm

Tougas Family Farm is a small family owned business located in Northborough, Massachusetts founded in 1981.
History
In 1981 the land was purchased by a married couple, Maurice and Phyllis Tougas, which is where the business name came from. Since the couple had started the farm it has been open to the public to share the experience of farming to their loved ones. Over the years the farm was preserved under the Agricultural Preservation Restriction program, which was run by the commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The small business started out with 53 acres of land, which included peach and apple orchards, which were from a man named Paul Fawcett. A few years later a barnyard full of animals was added along with a playground and a kitchen. Also strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, and pumpkin fields were added as well. The Tougas wanted to serve the public the best fruit by keeping it as fresh as can be by producing their fruit in the most economical and environment friendly way. They did this by the Integrated Pest Management by their side. The Pest Management Corporation helps the farm prevent infestation. When infestation occurs they observe and fix the problem without using any poisonous solutions.
The Tougas had three children, Andrew, Nicole, and April, who were born and raised on the farm. Andrew, the oldest, attended Cornwell University where he studied Pomology, Farm Finance, and Business Management. After graduating, he returned back to the farm to the farm to help out his father. His son helped his father build a horse farm, where they began further production. As they began experimenting with new crops they soon came across cherries and plums. To this day Tougas still remains to be the Northeast’s freshest farms.
