Meet the Repurposed Space

Wonder Root Farm

History of the space

The farm house and other meeting spaces were originally part of a now adjacent working vegetable and flower farm, Applefield Farm. Historically the original property was named 10 Acre Farm.

Today’s use of the space

Guests are encourage to have fun, relax, walk, talk, meet, and explore their inner sense of wonder and ideas. Miss Jeanie firmly believes there is an innovative spark in each and every one of us - only to be noticed and kindled.

On Wonder Root Farms one and half acres, Miss Jeanies has created magical, unexpected, and inviting spaces for meetings and conversations.

A Louisiana native, she possesses that enviable ability to make anyone feel at ease with her southern warmth and graceful charm. A successful psychotherapist in the early days, Jeanie also loved to entertain. One day when a close friend asked if she’d cater a party, Jeanie answered with a resounding,“Yes!” This love of food, friends and fun soon translated into a successful catering company unlike any other in the Boston area. Twenty years later, this self-taught cook is still turning ordinary events into extraordinary affairs – bringing her wisdom and whimsical style to all her projects.

Today Jeanie divides her time between Miss Jeanies Catering , the WishDish, and Wonder Root Farm. So when she’s not meeting with clients, cooking up a storm or seeking out new flavors, fabrics, and flowers, this author of MAKING FOOD WORK (2013), mother of two, wife of one, relaxes by dreaming up the next great educational initiative at her non-profit Wonder Root Farm Lab.
