Discover one of the oldest farms in Hillsborough and its transition from a dairy farm to an award-winning commercial property designed to preserve its historic character and rich agricultural history.
The Carriage Farm property dates back to the 18th century when it was part of the Harlingen Land Tract controlled by Queen Anne of England. Currently, owned by Ed and Sue Clerico, the main office building consists of the original 1800’s farmhouse, a 1987 office expansion and a 12,000 sf addition that received the United States Green Building Council’s LEED Silver certification. The site is sustainably maintained to protect the environment and conserve natural resources, and was managed as an active organic farm for over 25 years. Learn about the Clerico's experiences in expanding the commercial and residential aspects of the farm while preserving the property’s original agricultural character and functions.
