Where to Buy Pawpaws in Massachusetts
4 verified places to buy or pick pawpaws in Massachusetts. Confirm availability before you visit. Pawpaw season is short.
Pawpaw growing in Massachusetts runs on a small network of farms and nurseries. Tripple Brook Farm in Southampton ships pawpaw trees; for fruit, try Ockoo Farm in Marlborough or Whites Fields Farm in Hardwick. The state's season is short and pawpaws here ripen from mid-September into October, so an early-ripening variety like Allegheny, Pennsylvania Golden, or Summer Delight stands the best chance of finishing a full crop before frost.
