Walking Tour at Barstow’s Longview Farm

Barstow’s Longview Farm will be offering a free walking farm tour at 10:00am with a focus toward climate. We will visit our anaerobic digester, which converts food waste and cow manure into green energy. Stand in a bunk silo and consider how dairy farms keep land open in our community. Check out the dairy barn and learn how our farm is doing more with less while adapting to hotter summers. We’ll end at the calf barn before returning back to Barstow’s as a group.

The tour begins promptly at the top of the stairs at Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery. Please park in the bakery’s parking lot or along Barstow Lane. Please note we will not accommodate late arrivals! Wear shoes that can get muddy and clothes that can smell like a cow. The walking tour is about 1/4 mile, takes around 1 hour, and involves hills, uneven terrain, weather, and is mostly outdoors. This event is rain or shine, no rain date.

• Date: Thursday, September, 25, 10:00-11:00am
• Location: Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, 172 Hockanum Road, Hadley, MA 01035

No RSVP necessary. Contact Denise at Barstow’s Longview Farm with questions.
