Stonyfield Farm, also known as the Ebenezer Barrett Farm, is a historic farm on Barrett Hill Road in Wilton, New Hampshire. The farm consists of 159 acres (64 ha) of land (which extends into neighboring Lyndeborough), which includes one major cluster of farm buildings, including an 1803 Federal style brick farmhouse, built by the land's first settler, Ebenezer Barrett. The farm was worked by Barrett and two generations of descendants during the 19th century, and became gentleman's farm in the early 20th century. The farm complex includes a 19th-century barn, a garage which was added c. 1920, and a c. 1927 greenhouse which was moved to the farm c. 1950. The property also includes a portion of Old Coach Road, a formerly public right-of-way, lined with stone walls, that was a significant north-south route. The property was leased in 1978 to the Rural Education Center, a non-profit agricultural education organization. The center was run by Samuel Kaymen, and it is here that the yogurt maker Stonyfield Farm was founded.

The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
