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 40 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
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 to area pantries throughout Hampshire and Franklin County.
What's Happening
Shareholders: Opening day announcemet
This spring has been a funny one, cool and mostly dry with some random bursts of 90 degree weather. We thought the crops were behind but the heat waves and well timed rain were just enough to push things along. After checking on the crops and looking under our row covers early this week, we have come to a decision and we are very excited to announce the official start dates of the 2026 Summer season.
The first share distribution dates of the season:
The first on-farm distributions of the season will be Tuesday June 2, Thursday June 4, and Saturday June 6.
The first Boston distribution of the season for full shares and every other week shares will be Thursday June 5.
A follow up email will be coming this week with all the information you need to know about picking up your shares this year.
We are so excited to see you all and have everyone back out in the fields again!
Please spread the word to other shareholders! Our database is giving us trouble so we may have missed a few people. If you know of someone who didn't hear, tell them to email us so we can fix that.

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. ”
