About

Welcome to Alford

The Town of Alford Massachusetts features a rich history, rural demographics, interesting geography, and diverse wildlife. Alford does not have a post office so rural mail delivery comes from neighboring zip codes. Our town has no stores, no motels or hotels, and not a single gas station, all of which are available in neighboring towns. There are still a few farms in operation that export their goods, and sell goods in local stores and farmer’s markets. Some full-time residents are self-employed or own their own businesses, focused on trades and professional services. The majority of full-time residents work in surrounding areas; second-homeowners and retirees make up a large percentage of the town’s current population.
