Directions to Leyden Glen Lamb from the East

From Boston and Points East

Take Route 2 out of Cambridge.

Travel West on Route 2. It is a 4 lane divided highway. Then it becomes a 2 lane highway with no division. Be careful – it is curvy.

Travel across the Connecticut River (at Gill/Erving – there is a large bridge called The French King Bridge you will cross). You are getting close.

Take the second Greenfield exit – Sign says Greenfield Route 5/10.

At bottom of ramp, take a left onto Route 5/10 South.

Travel 3/10 mile until the first Stop Light. Take a right onto Silver Street (there is an Auto Zone on the right).

Travel to the end of Silver Street (approximately 1 mile).

Take a right onto Leyden Road.

Continue on Leyden Road – it will fork. Stay to the left (sign says Leyden with an arrow).

After 5 1/10 miles, you will see a long row of mailboxes on the right and a large oak tree with a blue sawblade that says Herron’s Blueberries. Take a right immediately onto South Schoolhouse Road.

Road will turn to dirt quickly. Continue to end of road – there will be a white ranch house directly in front of you.

Take a right going slow around corner. Travel down hill.

Our farm is the only house and little red barn on the left. There is a picket fence around the house.

The Farmstore is in the barn on the left side – You’ll see a Leyden Glen Lamb Sign.

(Alternatively, you can take the Mass Pike Rt. 90 out of Boston and then take 91 North at Springfield. Follow the Points South Rt. 91 directions above if you do this).

Go down the hill and our house is the only one on the left. There is a white picket fence. You’ll see a small red barn just before our house. There is a Farm Store sign on the left door. The lamb is in there in a freezer. It is self-serve with a cash box.

Border Collies are loose. They are friendly but will jump - Don’t wear white.
