0 Comments

 
We are proud to announce that we have recently begun sourcing from three new, local family businesses. These farms comprise a step in our efforts to provide more locally grown food and meet our commitment to purchase 20% real food by 2020.

Atlas Farm - South Deerfield, MA

Atlas Farm is an 85-acre diversified, organic vegetable farm in its thirteenth year of operation. Their farm is “dedicated to producing food in a way that will maintain biological diversity, support natural ecosystems, and keep the land productive for future generations.”

Queen’s Greens - Amherst, MA

Queen's Greens is owned and operated by Matt Biskup and Danya Teitelbaum. They grow certified organic produce on 30 acres of land in Amherst and Sunderland.

Walden Local Meat Co. - Burlington, MA

Walden Local Meat Co. partners with about 75 New England family farms to market and deliver meat that doesn't compromise on taste, convenience, or health.
