hip-in Farm
was established in 1944, when Hendrick and Thelma Couveé, along
with their son Herbert, "chipped-in" to purchase a former dairy farm on
Hartwell Road. The family moved from Belmont with their WWII "Victory" flock
of 35 hens. Over time the farm was expanded to house more than 18,000 birds.
For over thirty years, the farm was known for its door to door delivery of
fresh eggs to surrounding communities. Eggs and other farm products were also
sold on the premises using the honor system.
Now into the third generation, the farm has evolved into a farmstand/general
store with a unique country atmosphere. It still sells eggs from its free-running
hens along with a variety of groceries, dairy products, seasonal items,
and its own organically grown produce. With the addition of a petting zoo
and a penny candy counter, Chip-in Farm is a fun place to visit for people
of all ages!
