About Us
WHAT IS BROOKFIELD FARM?
We are a 120-acre mixed farm (vegetables and livestock) in Amherst, MA offering CSA shares to the Pioneer Valley and the greater Boston Area.
As an early adopter of Community Supported Agriculture in the US, we've been at this for 30 years - providing our shareholders with a meaningful connection to their food and their farm through bountiful and high quality produce, a shared experience of reality, risk and seasonality, and a place to pause and recreate. Our shareholders who have been with us 20+ years can tell you: this is sustainable, the real deal. Read more about our farm, our staff, our CSA, and our apprentice program.
Good Food for All
Thank you!
Thank you to all of you wonderful generous farm friends who have donated to our week long campaign for food access. Together we raised $4,400 to support our food donation work here at Brookfield Farm. The spirit of community at Brookfield Farm is strong and together we can help everyone have a bit of Brookfield Farm's fresh and healthy produce on their plates.
More information about the Food Access Fund:
At Brookfield Farm, we believe everyone deserves access to healthy locally grown produce. That's why two years ago we pioneered our Food Access Program. By partnering with area organizations like The Amherst Survival Center and Rachel's Table of Western Massachusetts, we donated over 8,000 lbs of produce last year to area pantries throughout Hampshire and Franklin County. As harvests have started rolling in this year, we have already donated hundreds of pounds of produce.
We want to extend a huge thank you to our 2024 sponsorsGreenfield Saving Bank, Greenfield Northampton Cooperative Bank,People's Bank, Easthampton Savings Bank and Florence Bank who have generously donated $2,000 to support our food access work this year. If you are a customer at one of these institutions, please thank them for helping us grow our reach into our greater community.

We would be so happy to see you.
Spring Seedling Sale

Start preparing your garden now because we have loads of beautiful seedlings for it this year. There are our much loved tried and true varieties (Sungold cherry tomatoes anyone?)but we have also added loads more flower varieties and some new veggies and herbs like okra and cumin. Check out the variety list here.
All our seedlings are grown in an organic compost based potting soil and given organic inputs (no neonics on these babies!) Start planning your garden and mark your calendar with the new date. We look forward to seeing everyone.

In Their Words
shareholders' Say
“The farm is one of the most important places on the planet to me”
“There is a grace and ease and hospitality that makes Brookfield Farm one of my very favorite places on this good earth. ”
“I am grateful to you and the crew of mostly young folks who work so hard to grow this stuff. I never had those feelings towards the Campbell’s Soup guys or Archer Daniels Midland. ”
