Barstow's Dairy Store and Bakery

Dairy Crawl 2024
2024-05-25 - 2024-07-04 | Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, 172 Hockanum Road, Hadley, MA, 01035, United States
Local farmstands in Hadley, South Hadley, and Sunderland are celebrating June with the Dairy Month Dairy Crawl!
Visit the participating farmstands: Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, Maple Valley Creamery’s Scoop at the Silos, McCray’s Country Creamery, Flayvors of Cook Farm, North Hadley Sugar Shack and Market, and Smiarowski’s Farmstand and Creamy; and purchase an ice cream to get your Dairy Crawl passport stamped between Memorial Day Weekend and the Fourth of July.
June is Dairy Month. Complete and submit your Dairy Crawl Passport by July 4 to be entered to win!

We farmers have been friends and neighbors for generations.

We all face similar challenges – development of farmland, difficulty finding reliable labor, and razor thin profit margins. We borrow equipment from one another, trade tips and feedback, and lend a helping hand. While not all of the participating farmstands are dairy farms, it is a longstanding tradition to support our neighbors and sustain agriculture in the Pioneer Valley.
The milk price is currently so low that it does not cover a dairy farm’s cost of doing business. We’ve opened farmstands to diversify our businesses so that we can continue to do what we love: create local, wholesome food for our community. This Dairy Month, we hope that you enjoy your visit to our farmstands!

Share your Dairy Crawl journey with us! #DairyCrawl

Dairy Crawl Passports are free and available at participating farmstands (while supplies last) or to print online.
Submitted passports will be entered into a raffle and 6 will be randomly selected to win a $50 gift certificate from one of the farms.

The tour will also visit a bunker silo where animal forage from 450 acres is stored. See the farm’s robotic milking system and learn how it contributes to a healthy herd, happy cows, increased milk quality, and a more efficient business. Finally see the youngest generation in our family at the calf barn. Tour takes approximately 1 hour, is just under 1/4 mile, involves hills, uneven terrain, and weather.
