For people living near our farm, in Montague Village, Massachusetts, we have triple-win proposition: help a small local farm, the climate, and yourself! We are a small, permaculture farm in beautiful Montague, Mass. We raise chickens, sheep, nuts, and berries. Our goal is to be 100% sustainable, local, climate- and wildlife-friendly. For our chickens, we want to eliminate the use of store-bought grains. Growing commercial poultry grains, even organic, use a lot of valuable farmland and resources, and is an inefficient way to produce eggs. Our alternative is to plant a chicken food forest with lots of forage - fruits, grains, squash, and greens - and feed the chickens food scraps.

CategoriesHappy 2024!It’s 2024 and we are excited for this coming year. Lots of plans: integrating trees and livestock in silvopasture; working with other farmers in the area to promote agroforestry and make it a viable farming option; expanding our berry patches; and of course continuing our offerings at the Greenfield and Turners Falls farmers markets with our partner Just Roots!
