Eat the Season: Apple Crisp
2020-10-15 11:00 - 17:00 | Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, 172 Hockanum Road, Hadley, MA, 01035, United States
There are many good reasons to eat local, in season food:

Local food is fresh and nutritious!
It connects us with nature’s cycles and with the place we call home.
Local food travels fewer miles from the fields to your kitchen table which means lower emissions, energy, and fuel usage.
The purchase of local food keeps dollars circulating in your local economy.
When you buy local food, it keeps farmland open which is good for wildlife, ground water, health and well-being, and food security.

Apples are in season! Order and pick up servings or whole pans of apple crisp to enjoy with your family on Thursday, October 15. Eat the Season!
Barstow’s homemade apple crisp will be available on Thursday, 10/15, between 11am-5pm for pick up in-store or at Barstow’s drive up window. Order as many $5.50 single servings as you need that will come in a lidded bowl, or a 9×12 pan of apple crisp for $28, perfect to pop in the oven for reheating. We recommend enjoying this dish warm with Maple Valley Creamery vanilla ice cream and/or Cabot whipped cream (yes, we have both!)
Pre-orders are required. Please call 413-586-2142, email info@barstowslongviewfarm.com, or stop by at Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery to place your order.

Grandma kept a diary of her life beginning at age 13. The entries recount her daily routines, doing the wash, mopping the floors, visiting with family, baking cookies, pies, or cakes. In October of 1994 she notes that she’s made 10,000 cookies so far – just in that year.

Dairy Month Dairy Crawl
2020-06-01 08:00 - 2020-06-30 16:00 | Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, 172 Hockanum Road, Hadley, MA, 01035, United States
June is Dairy Month!
A time to celebrate local dairy: milk, cheese, ice cream and more! ‘Celebrating’, however, looks a bit different in the age of COVID-19. With incredibly low milk prices, lost markets with the closure of restaurants, schools, and institutions, and the added stress of social distancing, new farm training protocols, and so.much.sanitizing, dairy farmers (like most everyone else these days!) have been a little preoccupied.
Traditionally, the Dairy Crawl takes you to six farmstands for ice cream and to get your passport stamped. You then submit your completed passport for a prize before the end of Dairy Month.
With so much on our plate and farmstand staff up to their necks in safety considerations, we have decided for forgo a printed passport for the annual Dairy Crawl this year, and invite you to #DairyCrawl on your own.
Visit the farmstands; Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, McCray’s Country Creamery, Flayvors of Cook Farm, Maple Valley’s Hadley Scoop, North Hadley Sugar Shack and Market, and Smiarowski’s Farmstand and Creamery; and purchase an ice cream (or anything dairy!) to participate in the Dairy Crawl and show your support for local agriculture.
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 with one another, trade tips and feedback, and lend a helping hand. While not all of the participating farmstands are connected with 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. Coronavirus has only heightened the uncertainty for dairy farmers nationwide. 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.
The Pioneer Valley is home to 2,161 farms, which generate $128 million in annual sales, steward 182,430 acres of land and employ 4,300 people. This Dairy Month, we hope that you enjoy your visit to our farmstands!
Supporting local matters, and we appreciate your business!
This project is organized and funded by the six participating farmstands in Sunderland, Hadley, and South Hadley. Again, please note that we did not print passports this year or train our farmstand teams on how to engage with this promotion. The Dairy Crawl this year is self guided by you and your love of local dairy (thank you!) You may also print your own: Dairy Crawl 2020 passport!

Pasture Day 2020 Facebook LIVE Event
2020-05-12 09:25 - 09:45 | Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, 172 Hockanum Road, Hadley, MA, 01035, United States
Today is Pasture Day!
And like the spring this year, it’s coming a little late. Pasture Day, an annual community event typically the first Saturday in May, has been rescheduled and reworked to meet best practices for safe social distancing in the time of COVID19.
Barstow’s Longview Farm will release several cows onto pasture in front of Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery on Tuesday, May 12 at 9:25am. We invite you to tune in for this virtual, Facebook Live event on our Facebook Page, here: https://www.facebook.com/Barstows-Dairy-Store-and-Bakery-253190316597/
Pasture Day is the time of year the fields are dry enough, the grass is green enough, and the fences are repaired from winter storms to release several heifers into the front pasture of Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery. Visitors typically enjoy frolicking cows, live music, farm tours, loads of ice cream, and maybe a few grass stains from playing/rolling on the hill. This year, because of coronavirus, we ask that you watch from home in order to prevent gathering.
Can’t watch live? A recording will be available on the Barstow Blog and Facebook page afterwards.
Pasture Day is just one of many great events and values that your neighborhood dairy farm brings the place you call home. Dairy farmers protect open spaces, steward our landscape, connect us with our roots, and provide essential, healthy food to our community.

Milk is one of the most requested, but least donated items at America’s food banks. Feeding America – the nation’s largest domestic hunger relief organization – and America’s dairy community, have delivered more than 33 million servings of fresh milk to children and families who need it most.
The Barstow family invites you to please join us in our continued efforts to get milk to nearby kids and families who need it most by donating to the Give a Gallon campaign. Thank you for your support!

2020-05-10 08:00 - 16:00 | Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, 172 Hockanum Road, Hadley, MA, 01035, United States

VIRTUAL Pasture Day 2020 (Date TBD)
2020-05-02 06:00 - 07:00 | Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, 172 Hockanum Road, Hadley, MA, 01035, United States
Due to the ongoing health emergency, the Barstow family has decided to postpone Pasture Day and make it a virtual event.
Pasture Day is one of our most popular events, and we suspect that even with social distancing guidelines in play, the advanced announcement of a rescheduled event will inevitably contribute to gathering. In an effort to put the health and safety of our community first – and get our girls out on pasture for the springtime, Pasture Day will be a virtual event and the date will not be public until day of.
Pasture Day is a special day on the farm. It’s the time of year we determine the fields are dry enough, the grass is green enough, and the fences are repaired to release our ‘dry’ (not currently milking) cow herd onto pasture, and several heifers into the front field of Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery.
Traditionally this special event involves live music, farm tours, lots of ice cream, and a few grass stains. This year the event will be held virtually on Facebook Live and a date and time to be announced. More details to come. Thank you for your understanding.

2020 Pioneer Valley Regional Agricultural Conference on January 18th from 9am to noon at the Smith Vocational and Agricultural High School in Northampton.
This is a free event. Doors open at 8:30am. The snow date is on January 25th at the same time and place.
Farmers, foresters, landowners, landscapers and others will have the opportunity to meet others in the field and discuss issues that concern them.
We are very excited about our three presentations:
Can Dairy Farms make it in the Pioneer Valley? Denise Barstow, Barstow’s Longview Farm
Barstow’s Longview Farm is a sixth and seventh generation owned-and-operated dairy farm in Hadley, MA. Thanks to business diversification and a supportive community, the Barstow family has continued to produce nutritious food, steward the land and landscape, and preserve a way of life despite a very rocky milk market. Learn about this family operation and discuss how policies, regulations, and town planning can make or break a family farm.
Hadley is Heaven (and Farming is Purgatory) Wally Czajkowski, Plainville Farm
The Czajkowski Family has been farming in the Pioneer Valley since 1914. Wally’s Plainville Farm in Hadley is a diverse organic and conventional farm that produces asparagus, green beans, hemp, winter squash, and other crops. Wally will discuss how they attract and retain a large workforce and navigate a rapidly changing labor law and regulatory environment. He’ll present on stewarding his land, improving soil health, and developing relationships with local supermarkets. He’ll also discuss how the Town of Hadley supports agriculture and is a model for how other towns and cities can support and grow a strong and resilient local food economy.
What to know before growing Hemp Taryn La Scola, MDAR Division of Crop and Pest Services
Agricultural hemp comes with its own set of complex rules and permits. Taryn will explain the permit process and help clarify current rules and regulations for hemp growers. She’ll discuss advocacy efforts to improve state regulations for hemp growers. She’ll also discuss what farmers need to know about how to prepare their farms to grow hemp and what the evolving market looks like for hemp and CBD oil.
