About Us

---

Olá! We're Paulo and Amina Rodrigues, and we are Brazilian natives who have lived in Massachusetts for almost 25 years. We both have extensive farming backgrounds, with Paulo farming coffee beans since childhood. Today, we live and farm in Berkley with our three adorable children (Victoria, Paulo Vinicius, and Diniz) and Amina's mother Edna. We moved to this breathtaking farm in 2019 and are excited to be returning it to its agricultural use, after many years of living in the suburbs with only backyard chickens! The Rodrigues Family Farm's mission is to restore the area's sustainable farming tradition, retain its rural character, provide food for the local people, and create a new agritourism destination.

Our family takes great pride in providing an environment where visitors may take part in family-friendly programs and activities that promote sustainable farming, including pony rides, a petting zoo, a produce stand, lots of seasonal events, and so much more. Our farm encourages visitors to take a break from their hectic schedules and enjoy our therapeutic, nostalgic, pleasant farm. We especially welcome families, community members who grew up in rural areas like we did, and people who want to learn more about the farming legacy & lifestyle. We want you to feel like a member of our farming family, and we hope you'll visit us soon!

With over 7 scenic acres of production land, we have big plans for this little farm. Currently, our farm is home to horses, ponies, cows, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits, emus, and a peacock! We also have a fruit tree orchard and grow many vegetables. We sell our products mostly on our farm, because we want you to see where your food is coming from, take a break, and enjoy the farm! Some of our products are also available at Terra Nossa Center Market. We are growing and we hope you'll stay tuned to see what animals and crops we'll bring to the farm next!
