Simple Gifts Farm

We grow delicious and high quality organic vegetables, grass-fed meats and pasture-raised eggs and offer them through a CSA program, and through a farm store, both open to the public 7 days a week, year-round. The farm store is open 10 AM – 7 PM weekdays, and 8 AM – 7 PM weekends. The farm store features the seasonal bounty of vegetables from our farm, along with a wide array of other food from other local farms and food producers.  Pick-your-own crops are open to the general public, and include strawberries, flowers, beans, cherry tomatoes and more.  Our farm is located on land preserved from development by tremendous community effort.  We integrate our livestock and forage crops into a sustainable soil-building system that is capturing carbon and raising the productive capacity of the farm.  We are transitioning our greenhouse heat and electric power to renewable sources.  We are also working to train the next generation of organic farmers through our apprentice program; the list of former apprentices who now operate farms of their own is growing.

We offer a weekly array of fresh, clean organic vegetables from June through the first week of November. Shareholders receive a canvas bag that they fill weekly with their selection of the seasonal bounty. A regular share bag ($761) is about the size of a plastic grocery bag. We offer pick-your-own crops (strawberries, cherry and plum tomatoes, herbs, flowers and more) in addition to the bag. We also have options for a flexible 10-share pass which allows members to fill their bag 10 times during the season at their convenience ($360), and a pick-your-own pass for access to our PYO fields alone ($300).   You can keep the veggies coming year-round with the Winter and Spring shares!  The biweekly Winter CSA ($300) runs from the second week of November until mid-March and now includes more fresh greens! The Spring Share ($300) starts the third week in March and goes 10 weeks until the end of May, and includes the sweetest salad greens you can imagine, along with radishes, scallions, and other such tender green things.  Winter and spring shares can be bundled for a total of $550 for the two seasons. Pick-up is at our new Farm Store on the North Amherst Community Farm (1089 North Pleasant Street in Amherst) seven days a week. EBT-SNAP benefits are accepted for all shares and for purchases at the farm store.
