Smolak Farms is a family-operated agricultural enterprise in North Andover, Massachusetts that blends farming with education and seasonal entertainment. The land carries a long history, including parts of the historic homestead that are about 300 years old. The Smolak family—Martin and Magdalenna Smolak, followed by Henry and Helen Smolak with their son and daughter-in-law—continues to oversee the operation, and H. Michael Smolak has guided its evolution from a dairy farm to a more diversified farm over several decades. In 1982, 107 of the original 160 acres were preserved under the Massachusetts Agricultural Preservation Restriction Program to keep the land open and undeveloped. The farm sits in the hills of northeastern Massachusetts and is characterized as a small to mid-sized family operation. 

The business combines agricultural production with experiences designed for education and community engagement, attracting visitors and local families seeking hands-on farm experiences. Recent developments include the Apple Picking season launch announced for late August 2024 and the introduction of the Whim Farm-to-Table Dinner Series in 2024. The farm has previously expanded programming to include Story & Craft events (launched in 2023) and has hosted seasonal festivals with beer, wine, and food tents. It has also partnered with organizations such as BAE Systems to host military appreciation events, including Trees for Our Heroes. In 2025, Smolak Farms was recognized as a Best of Weddings winner by The Knot and received a Couples' Choice Award from WeddingWire, reflecting its role as a venue for celebrations in the region.
