Farm Stand

We grow 28 acres of Certified Organic Salads, Vegetables, and Flowers. We are widely known for pioneering Northeast-grown Ginger and Turmeric and for the Specialty Products we make with these powerful roots. We grow what we love, and love what we grow. We are committed to a healthy workplace, environment and community, and our products are infused with that attention. You’ll taste the difference!  We do not have a farm stand, and instead encourage you to find our products at places such as the Atlas Farm Store, River Valley Coop, Greenfields Market, and many more (see listing below)

Peach update

There are no peaches for harvest in Massachusetts this year — an unfortunate casualty of increasingly variable weather fueled by climate change. We are keeping the guide updated with information about other fruit that is available, along with farms that are sourcing peaches from other parts of the region.
