Gould Hill: More Than Just an Orchard

By Jimmy Angell

Gould hill was founded in 1735, and, since then, has changed ownership seven times. Previous owners Sue And Erick Leadbeater sold the farm in 2009. They still work closely with owners Amy and Tim Basset. Gould Hill is an important part of Hopkinton and its history. From McIntosh, to Red Delicious, to Hampshire Gould hill offers a variety of different apples. Since the 1980s people have been able to pick their own apples for just a small price. For almost 300 years and with new owners, a prosperous farm and a good community member, Gould Hill will surely be a part of Hopkinton for years to come.
