Laura Robbins
Laura has lived in Sherborn since 2019 and absolutely loves it. She grew up a few miles away in the next town over and knew when the opportunity was right she needed to live here. With a background in non-profit fundraising, event planning and working for profit in private equity, it became clear that she was really an entrepreneur at heart. She took a leap and opened Wild Robbins Farm in Sherborn in 2020, which is a commercial farm raising animals for meat and selling direct to consumers in her farm store, at farm markets and in local restaurants and shops.
On top of that extremely busy life, Laura is a wife and mom to three boys. Laura has a strong belief in helping feed and grow community, and is also on a few other local boards such as the Middlesex County Farm Bureau, The Sherborn Agriculture Committee as well being an active member in the Sherborn Business Association as their Vice President.
Laura was excited to get involved in the Sherborn Fund to help the local community in more ways.

As her family grew she branched out to chair the local Community School Association, and head the Management Committee for the 1858 Town House, the local community center.
Additionally, she was part of the first Affordable Housing Partnership, as well as a Trustee for Sherborn Rural Land Foundation, the local land trust.
The Sherborn Fund is of particular interest to Sara in that all organizations in the community are eligible to apply for grants from the Sherborn Fund. The Sherborn Fund essentially is on the pulse of the needs of Sherborn, and Sara finds it gratifying to understand the broad needs of her community.
