I love this place. This was my second year getting a farm share from them. It's been well worth the price both years. It also turns produce shopping into an excellent outing with my girls. They love seeing the chickens,connecting flowers, and ask the pick-your-own options. The farm store is great, too for turning this outing into a more rounded grocery run ... Fresh eggs, dairy, meats, and bread from Small Oven. It's such a nice part of life in Easthampton.

We have been members of their farm share program for a long time. Ben the CSA farmer runs a spectacular operation and I have witnessed his progress with crops and equipment over the years yielding a huge variety of vegetables, herbs, flowers and berries. What a special local resource in the valley. Thanks Ben!!

The CSA is fantastic! Im impressed by the variety of produce available (and the quantity you get as part of your share). Plus, the u-pick option in the fields is a fun way to feel closer to nature and the food you eat.

I love this CSA. They're very friendly, have flexible pick-up hours, and the produce is very fresh and flavorful. The U Pick is totally worth it, and I also like that I get to pick what I want for the CSA (by weight, rather than x of this veggie).
