Local Produce Partners For four generations spanning over 100 years, the Wainer family has supported the community and maintained relationships with local farmers.

Wainer Family Farm In the heart of the farmcoast, 1.5 miles from Buzzard’s Bay, on a sprawling 50 acres, you will find the Wainer Family Farm. The farm was founded in 2002 when Henry Wainer purchased 22.5 acres of land in Dartmouth, MA from a family friend. Today, the farm has grown to include more land, greenhouses, and one of the first inner-city greenhouses on the east coast, in New Bedford. We grow over 20 different types of tomatoes, more than a dozen types of summer squash, and over 10 varieties of eggplant; more than 150 different products that change season to season and year to year. We evaluate the plants based on variety and yield and once a crop is deemed successful, then pass the information onto other local farmers in our region to grow for us. We educate farmers locally to grow high value crops that will give them the best return for their efforts per acre. We help them to source seeds and choose crops that will bring them the optimal return for their investment and their hard work. By improving education and cultivation throughout the area we ensure that we are able to source the highest quality, freshest produce. This is a true preservation of the environment, sustainability, and the local community. Wainer Family Farm is a division of Sid Wainer & Son®.
