We're Local Bardwell Farm is just a stone's throw from Northampton, Whately, Deerfield and South Deerfield and we're easy to get to! Our farmstand is located on Hatfield's historic Main Street, just a few houses from the town hall, you can’t miss the old style farmhouse and the Bardwell Farm sign. Because we are located on Main Street and we are just off the sidewalk, historic Hatfield is a great place to walk any time of day. Park your car, grab a food bag, walk up and down town and stop at the farmstand before you head home! We're Fresh We pick our veggies fresh in the morning and afternoon. Chances are what you are purchasing could be a couple of hours to minutes old, now that's fresh! Everything is washed with cold, clean water to ensure you are getting a crisp product throughout the whole day. We’re Diverse We offer a variety of vegetables, fruits, and decorative products from May through November. From fresh asparagus and spinach in the spring, to blueberries, strawberries, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and sweet corn in the summer. And, you can’t forget our autumn offerings of pumpkins, squashes, and cornstalks! We are proud to have a diverse seasonal selection.

Eat fresh and buy local, we see it printed on boxes, bags, blogs and trucks, it's even on all of our merchandise, but do you know what it really means? There are many reasons why you should buy locally grown produce. It’s good for you, me, our community and the world. Here are the top 5! Eat Fresh Local produce is fresher and tastes better because it is usually picked and sold within 6 to 12 hours. Local fruits and vegetables have longer to ripen because they don’t have to travel long distances. When you buy produce at a grocery store, it may have traveled thousands of miles and been kept in storage for days or weeks. Reduces Food Miles Food miles are the number of miles that food has to travel before it ends up on our plates. This can be thousands of miles as the product is shipped from the place where it is grown, to the processing plant, and eventually to it’s destination, before finally being sold and taken home. All of this consumes energy and puts a strain on our environment. Reducing food miles, reduces the carbon footprint. You are promoting better air quality and ultimately reducing pollution. Local Food Is Seasonal Buying local food keeps us in touch with the seasons. Not everything is available all year round, meaning what grows is the most abundant, least expensive and at its peak. Local Food Is Social
Buying local improves our social community. When we buy local foods, we create a more intimate relationship with the people who grow our food because they’re our neighbors. Know your food, know your farmer. Buy Local Another real benefit of buying local food and products is that it supports local business. This benefits the community as a whole. Money stays within the community and every dollar spent generates twice as much income for the local economy. For more Homegrown News subscribe to my newsletter!
