Sign up for CISA's enewsWe use the tagline “good fruit” because it conveys very simply our desire to produce fruit that is good for you, good for the land, and helps sustain and strengthen our community. We grow apples, pears (mostly Asian pears), peaches, raspberries, blueberries, and grapes on about 5 of our 63 acres.
All of our products are grown with inputs and methods that could qualify us for organic certification, but we have not yet taken the step of getting certified. Organic tree fruit is rare in New England, and it is hard to grow, but we think it’s worth the effort.
We sell through our farmstand at 416 Bay Road in Amherst, open every day during our season (generally early July – mid-November), and do PYO on weekends when the crop is good. The farmstand is self-service using the honor system. We do accept all major credit cards using a Square terminal, Venmo, or cash in a cash box (no change available).
We lease another 13 acres to our friends at Brookfield Farm and sometimes sell to their members through bulk pre-sales. We also sell Hives to Home honey produced from hives on our land and other nearby farms, our own garlic and tomatoes, and occasionally other products that we grow or purchase from local farms.
Check our website to see what’s available and when PYO is open. PYO parking is available from the farm entrance at approximately 495 Middle Street, about 100 yards north from the Bay Road intersection, not at the farmstand location on Bay Road. See you at the orchard!
