Elmartin Farm

Elmartin Farm is a historic family-owned property in Cheshire, Massachusetts, operated by the 8th generation of the Martin family, whose ancestors began farming there in 1790. The farm is currently owned by Everett Lawrence Martin Jr., known as Gus, and his wife Dodi, with their sons Kim and Shawn managing daily operations. The property's name comes from the initials and last name of Everett Lawrence Martin, Sr. By the late 1950s, Elmartin Farm had developed into a major dairy operation in Northern Berkshire County, with a herd of 80 milkers and 80 head of youngstock. The centerpiece of the property is a barn completed in 1952, which was expanded to include a milking parlor and now serves as the focal point for events at Elmartin Farm.
