    Austin's special delivery

    Picture
    This week, our Bardwell Farm mascot, Austin the doggo, made a very special delivery to the Northampton Survival Center - with a little help from his human, Liz Denny.

    Together, they brought 200 pounds of fresh, local tomatoes straight from our fields to the Center’s doors. 

    Fresh produce can make all the difference for families in need. Tomatoes are not only delicious, but they’re also packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and flavor that brighten any meal. For many households facing food insecurity, these locally grown tomatoes mean healthy meals on the table and a taste of summer they might not otherwise enjoy.

    At Bardwell Farm, we believe everyone deserves access to fresh, nutritious food. Our Carrots2Carrots program helps bridge that gap, connecting what we grow here in the Pioneer Valley to the tables of our neighbors.

    A big round of applause for Austin and Liz - proving that teamwork (and a wagging tail) can make a real difference.

    If you’d like to support Carrots2Carrots and help us bring more fresh produce to local families, visit the farmstand or get in touch. Every carrot counts!

    Word To Table: A Literary Fundraiser

    Video Rick Labrecque

    We invited folks to join us for an inspiring literary event titled “Word to Table” on July 5th. The event featured the renowned poet Simeon Berry, who had received the prestigious Academy of American Poets Award. We were also delighted to have the presence of talented writers Elizabeth Denny, Olena Jennings, Sean Sutherland, Jaya Tripathi, and Anton Yakovlev.

    “Word to Table” was not just a celebration of literature; it was an opportunity to make a positive impact. The event raised funds to support farmers in Hampshire and Franklin Counties of Western Massachusetts, as well as local food pantries that served our community, such as the Northampton Survival Center and the Center for Self-Reliance in Greenfield.

    If you missed this chance to enjoy an evening of poetry and fun, there will be another in 2026. Until then, if you would like to contribute, please do so here
