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.
Completed and semi-completed passports are eligible to be entered into the raffle. Dairy Crawlers who received:
One stamp = 0 raffle entries
Two stamps = 1 raffle entries
Three stamps = 2 raffle entries
Four stamps = 3 raffle entries
Five stamps = 4 raffle entries
All SIX stamps = 20 raffle entries
AND an additional 2 entries per keyword (up to 12 more entries!)
Winners will be notified by email or phone.

Friday, June 30 marks our 15 Year Anniversary at Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery! To celebrate, we are offering one cookie per customer today to say THANK YOU!
Thank you for what you might ask? Well where do we begin?! We opened Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery in 2008 because the milk market was crashing and we needed to either diversify our business or close the doors on our family’s multi-generational, 200 year old dairy farm – forever. So we went retail. Going from growing food to serving it and fully relying on the support of our community to keep our farm in business. We essentially turned to you and said “help!”
You listened. You visited our store. You told your friends about us. You raised your family here. You got your Thanksgiving Pie from Barstow’s. You picked up a gallon of milk. You bought a muffin.
Whether this is your first time visiting, or you’re at Barstow’s every day, thank you.
Your purchases, great and small, keep our family farming. Which means you are keeping farmland undeveloped, supporting your local economy, and allowing the next generation of this community to grow up with dirt on their feet and sun on their face.
Your business matters. And we are very grateful for it!
