NEPM: D & R Farm

.

Diane and Robert Rollins of D & R Farm in Hampden join the crew to talk about the love they put into farming AND all the ways they make local food accessible in their community, including how:

• About 50% of D & R Farm’s sales go to folks using SNAP
• They’re an anchor farm vendor at several farmers’ markets in Hampden county (keeping the “farm” in “farmers’ market”)
• Their farm stand on Thresher road is open every day, and you can use your SNAP benefits there too!

In recognition of their achievements over the last two decades, CISA was excited to present them with a Local Hero award at our 2024 annual meeting!
