Hamilton Farms In Boonton Announces Closing

BOONTON, NJ — After 90 years in the family farm business, Hamilton Farms in Boonton will not reopen for the 2019 season.

Hamilton Farms Greenhouses and Farm Market have been family owned, selling wholesale and retail flowers, herbs, and other garden plants. Between April and December, the farm also sold locally grown seasonal fresh produce.

"We are very grateful to everyone who has come from near and far and supported our family business. We greatly appreciate every single one of our customers for your patronage year after year. Our customers are the reason we had a long and successful run - we couldn’t have done it without you," the farm said in a message posted to their Facebook page.

They added that "the property will continue to remain in the agricultural community."

The announcement post was filled with fond memories of the farm over the years, wishing the owners the best of luck going forward.

"I'm so sad to hear this. I moved to Denville almost 40 yrs ago & as I learned about gardening Hamilton Farms became one of my favorite places. I have wonderful memories of wandering around looking at all the plants," one local said.

"Our family grew up literally measuring their height near the hayride. You will be missed. Have loved you, your plants and your generosity for the past 20 years," another shared.

"THANK YOU ALL from the bottom of our hearts for your kind words and well wishes!! This is a bittersweet moment for our entire family. We loved being a part of this wonderful community and will miss it for sure," the owners said in response to well-wishers.
