Kimstead Farm
Kimstead Farm is a 26 acre hobby farm owned by Theresa LeBlanc and Ron Hauff. They enjoy sustainable living through making jams, salsas and most recently maple syrup. A sugar house was established on the farm in 2022.
Kimstead Farm dates back to 1746. Over the years, the house and barn have been lovingly restored, preserving many original features that tell the story of its past. A stone foundation from an old wood mill—used to craft materials for the original structures—still stands on the property as a testament to its heritage. Originally spanning over 100 acres, Kimstead Farm was subdivided in 1954 and gained regional acclaim in the latter part of the 20th century for its renowned Thoroughbred horse breeding.
Honoring the Land
We acknowledge that Ground Ed is situated on the traditional homelands of the Nashaway (Nashua) and Nipmuc peoples. The Nashaway, an Algonquian-speaking tribe, inhabited the upper regions of the Nashua River valley, encompassing areas around present-day Pepperell. Their name, Nashaway, translates to between, reflecting their location along the river valleys. The Nipmuc, meaning people of the freshwater pond, traditionally occupied central Massachusetts and adjacent parts of Connecticut and Rhode Island. We honor and respect the enduring relationship between these Indigenous communities and their ancestral territories.
