A short history
The Westford farmhouse began as a dairy barn in 1908, when the Kimball family sold milk wholesale. In 1934 two salesmen, one selling freezer cabinets and one selling ice cream mix, suggested the family try ice cream. In 1939 Jack and Clara Kimball turned the woodshed at the end of the house into an ice cream parlor. The first flavors included maple walnut, frozen pudding and peppermint stick. They moved the ice cream into the barn in 1975, where it is still made, and in 1988 passed the business to their grandsons, Michael and Peter Kimball. Peter runs it today.
Kimball golf fact
The three Kimballs are named after different people. Kimball Farm is named for the Kimball family who still run it. Kimball, Minnesota is named for Frye Kimball, an early settler. Kimball, Nebraska took its name in 1885 from Thomas Lord Kimball, a railroad official. All three have golf: mini golf and a driving range in Westford, Kimball Golf Club in Minnesota and Four Winds in Nebraska.
