Foss Farm Conservation Land

Foss Farm is a 57-acre conservation and recreation area in Carlisle, Massachusetts. Historically a farm known for asparagus and other crops, it now features community garden plots and fields used for agriculture. Archaeological evidence indicates the area was inhabited by Native Americans over 3,600 years ago. The site is rich in biodiversity, with fields, upland woods, wetlands, and habitats for wildlife such as bluebirds, owls, and rare turtles like Blanding's turtles. Foss Farm offers trails for hiking and horseback riding, connecting to nearby conservation lands and the Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, but there are not any trails suitable for road bikes. Other amenities include unpaved parking, equestrian areas, and space for dog training and sled dog activities in the winter.
