History
Sweetwilliam Farm Country Store was founded by Gail Harrington
in 2003 and is located on the Farm property. In 1993 Gail became the farm's third owner. Historically the land was
acquired from Westborough when our town was incorporated and purchased by Ephraim and Thankful (Harrington) Whitney, in 1749. Legend states that Eli Whitney walked the two miles from Westborough to work on his
uncle's farm. Eli was the inventor of the Cotton Gin.
Country Store

cream, party rentals, or enjoying our live music concert series.
