certified organic family farm located on some of the richest farmland on earth in Hadley, Massachusetts.

 

Selling primarily at the Amherst Farmers' Market on Saturdays from 8:00am to 1:00pm, from the first weekend in May until mid November

 

We specialize in heirloom tomatoes (both plants and fruit), unusual lettuce varieties, sweet corn, and fresh cut flowers with an arugula to zucchini mix to fill in the gaps. We pick all of our varieties for superior taste, try to source organic seed whenever possible, and even grow a few outstanding hybrids.

 

Below are some of the varieties that will be available at the Amherst Farmers' Market starting Saturday, May 5th, 2007.

 

 

 

FOURTH OF JULY – Extra Early Slicing Tomato

 

Really only the size of a large cherry this year, I’m trialing this one from a strong customer recommendation in 2005. Plenty flavorful for such a small package! Try them thinly sliced on a baguette rubbed with garlic and brushed with olive oil. Sprinkle with hard cheese and pop under the broiler for an early summer treat.

NEW GIRL – Early Slicing Tomato

 

Medium-sized red fruits with rich, full flavor are perfect for sandwiches and salads. They have tremendous taste and good size for such an early field-grown tomato. An early season favorite in our house.

STUPICE – Early Heirloom Slicing Tomato

 

Bred in Czechoslovakia, this is an extremely early variety with exceptional taste. Small, saladette size fruits are great quartered in pasta salad or sprinkled over a green salad. Now all it needs is a good name…

MOSKVITCH – Early Heirloom Slicing Tomato

 

These are some of the most appealing early tomatoes we have grown. The deep red tomatoes have a smooth texture and rich taste that belie their earliness. Always the first tomato we harvest with true heirloom taste!
