Frost Farm is located near the North Woods Office and Condominium complex on North Road, on the town line with neighboring Concord. The site contains vast open meadows along with forested areas, which surround the open fields. The property provides exceptional bird watching, particularly in the spring, due to the diverse array of habitats present on the property.

When completed, the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail (BFRT) will follow the right-of-way formerly used by the Framingham and Lowell Railroad. This enters Sudbury from Concord, then runs along the western edge of the property. The BFRT will connect this property with Davis Farm, located just south of North Road.

This location was the site of a 140-acre estate known as Briardale Farm. The house at the farm, was purchased by Mr. Levenstein in the 1920s. He rebuilt it as a mansion. This would eventually be rebuilt after being destroyed in a fire. He raised racehorses on the farm.  In 1932, he sold the farm to Mr. Frost, a wealthy gentleman farmer, who raised and sold sheep. Mr. Frost converted the horse stable to a poultry barn. The property changed hands several times in the late 20th century until the town purchased the house and grounds in 1992.

Trails 

The Frost Farm trail begins in a gently rolling field, dotted here and there with trees. The main trail leads immediately northwest across the uppermost field, crossing an old irrigation ditch, before proceeding into the woods and onwards to Concord. An alternative loop trail leads you in a southernly direction, where the fields can get muddy or flooded at the lowest points. Beyond the meadow, you enter a forest characterized by moderate slopes. The trail bends sharply around a prominent outcropping of bedrock. There are two bridges crossing the streams.

Parking

Parking is available at the picnic area on the left as you drive up Frost Farm Village Road. Please do not enter Frost Farm Village.
