End of an Era: Otis Poultry Farm Closes After 121 Years

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
OTIS, Mass. — Sunday is the last day to purchase products from Otis Poultry Farm. 
 
The farm is closing at 5 p.m. after 121 years of operation.
 
Owner Andy Pyenson and his wife, Lynn, had announced the farm's closure on its Facebook page April 1, saying the family-owned business had proudly served the community and "from our family to yours, thank you for your unwavering support over the generations."
 
The property has been for sale for about 12 years, and was almost bought in 2022 to become a cannabis store but the deal fell through.
 
Pyenson still hopes a buyer will come forward.
 
"A lot of people come in and look but nobody signs and we're just waiting. I'm hoping within the last couple weeks I am going to sign some paperwork," he said on Friday.
 
But he says, it's time for him to let it go.
