Hettie Belle Farm, Warwick
978-544-6241, jennifer@hettiebellefarm.com
Our organically raised & 100% grass-fed meat & poultry shares are comprised of a total of 60+ pounds of farm product distributed over 5 monthly pick-ups (November – March) of 12-15 pounds each. Shares include pastured & organically fed chicken, pork & duck as well as 100% grass-fed beef & lamb.

Don’t eat lamb, duck or otherwise? No problem. Let us know and we’ll provide more of something you and your family will really enjoy! We raise organic, pastured turkeys and geese and can swap these into shares as well! Each monthly distribution will vary in cuts and product.

Mockingbird Farm, Easthampton
413-219-0588, pete@mockingbirdfarmma.com
We are a small, grass- and forest-based livestock farm located in Easthampton. We strive to humanely produce the most delicious and nutritious food we can. We pasture all our animals and ensure that they are able to express their species specific behaviors. Animals that receive grain are fed an organic ration. We use no weird stuff. Instead of us picking the cuts and setting a monthly quantity, as a shareholder you will be able to choose the cuts you want, when you want them. We will give each shareholder a Share Card that can be used to pay for any available items at any of our farmer’s markets or during regular on-farm pick-up hours from 12-2 on the first Sunday of the month. Shareholders can pick-up meat as often or infrequently as they choose during a six month period. New shareholders can join at any time. Shareholders benefit because when they use their Share Card, they pay 50 cents per pound less than the regular price. Shareholders will also receive regular updates about what cuts are available and priority when availability is limited. We benefit because we get payment closer to the time when we incur feed and slaughter costs, and we can better plan our production schedule. Small shares cost $300. Large shares cost $600. Large shareholders will also receive a $10 bonus, so your starting balance will be $610. All Share Card balances must be used within six months of purchase.

River Rock Farm, Brimfield
413-245-0249, Charlie@riverrockfarm.com or Lindsay@riverrockfarm.com
At River Rock Farm, we raise beef cattle and sell all natural, dry-aged beef. We do not use any artiﬁcial growth hormones, growth stimulants, or antibiotic feed additives. Our cattle are raised in pastures rather than in feedlots, and have free choice access to hay all year and fresh grass in season. For their last three months we feed a ﬁnishing ration of grain which is milled locally and allows us to use the dry aging method making the beef more tender and ﬂavorful. We believe that we raise our livestock in ways that promote their health and well-being, as well as that of our customers. CSA shares are available year round starting any month of your choosing for a 3 month share. The small share is 6-8 lbs of beef/month good for 1-2 people for $265. The large share is 10-12 lbs of beef/month good for 3-5 people for $415. We deliver direct from our farm to your home and we also offer discounts for being a CSA host, as well as a “refer a friend” program where you can receive free beef for your referrals. Details and sign up can be found on our website: www.RiverRockFarm.com

Taproot Commons Farm, Cummington
413-634-5452, taprootcommons@gmail.com
We are pleased to be offering Raw Milk via our Grade A Certified micro dairy. We run six month CSA shares running from April-September, and October-March. Our cows are well-loved, pastured and rotationally grazed, eating only a modicum of grain (about 4 pounds daily) as a parlor treat. We’re milking a half dozen girls, mostly jerseys, with quality butterfat and protein-filled milk for fresh drinking, and home dairying. We hand bottle into half-gallon, returnable glass jars. Share sizes run from 1/2 gallon/wk to 2 gallons/wk. We are most interested in providing wholesome and stellar tasting milk for our local community in a fashion that replenishes area farmland. Free-choice pick-up day. Non CSA milk is also bottled 7 days per week as available.

Nasami Farm, Whately

Our CSA works just like those for local, seasonal food purchased directly from a farmer. When you buy a share, you will receive great plants at regular intervals—plus e-newsletters with cultural instructions and ideas for your plants. CSAs are a great value, and the bigger the share, the more you save. A limited number of shares are available, so sign up early. You have several options: You can choose from four plant groups (Edible Natives, Woodland Natives, Butterfly Garden Natives, and Low-Maintenance Natives), each of which have approximately 90% herbaceous and 10% woody plants. You can choose the package with the quantity and pickup schedule that works best for you. You can pick up your plants at either Garden in the Woods or Nasami Farm. Share the bounty! Split your share with a friend, or give all or part of a share as a wonderful gift!
