SUMMARY:Pasture Day 2020 Facebook LIVE Event
DESCRIPTION:Today is Pasture Day!\nAnd 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. \nBarstow’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/\nPasture 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. \nCan’t watch live? A recording will be available on the Barstow Blog and Facebook page afterwards.\nPasture 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. \n \nMilk 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. \nThe 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!

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL Pasture Day 2020 (Date TBD)
DESCRIPTION:Due to the ongoing health emergency\, the Barstow family has decided to postpone Pasture Day and make it a virtual event.\nPasture 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. \nPasture 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. \nTraditionally 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.

SUMMARY:Pioneer Valley Regional Agricultural Conference
DESCRIPTION:2020 Pioneer Valley Regional Agricultural Conference on January 18th from 9am to noon at the Smith Vocational and Agricultural High School in Northampton.\nThis is a free event. Doors open at 8:30am. The snow date is on January 25th at the same time and place. \nFarmers\, foresters\, landowners\, landscapers and others will have the opportunity to meet others in the field and discuss issues that concern them.\nWe are very excited about our three presentations: \nCan Dairy Farms make it in the Pioneer Valley? Denise Barstow\, Barstow’s Longview Farm \nBarstow’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. \nHadley is Heaven (and Farming is Purgatory) Wally Czajkowski\, Plainville Farm \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:EVENT FULL Cows & Conservation
DESCRIPTION:*Please note that this event is currently full but you may register for the wait-list on Kestrel Land Trust’s page. Registration is required for this event. Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery will not be processing registration or wait-list requests.* \nIn 2014\, the Barstow family worked with Kestrel and the Commonwealth to place an Agricultural Preservation Restriction (APR) on 123 acres of their farmland\, preserving it forever. The Barstows reinvested the funds from the sale of the APR back into their 213 year-old dairy farm to secure its future. They purchased robotic milkers\, a tool that improves milk production\, animal health\, and farm efficiency. \nVisit this innovative local dairy farm in Hadley with seventh generation dairy farmer and Kestrel’s TerraCorps Community Engagement Coordinator\, Denise Barstow. We will tour the farm and view the robot milkers\, dairy barn\, calf barn\, bunker silos\, and anaerobic digester—a system that converts cow manure and food waste into fertilizer\, heat\, and electricity for 1\,600 homes. You’ll also find out how APRs contribute to habitat\, sustainability\, heritage\, and farm viability. \nThis 0.5 mile walk includes some hills\, uneven terrain\, and mud. Please dress for the weather and wear shoes that can get dirty. The event will take place rain or shine. \nThis event is free\, but donations are welcome. Registration is required and currently full. You may register for the wait list on the Kestrel Land Trust event page here.  \n*Please note that this event is currently full but you may register for the wait-list on Kestrel Land Trust’s page.

SUMMARY:Harvest for All
DESCRIPTION:In Massachusetts alone\, 652\,760 people are struggling with hunger – and of them 167\,450 are children.\nTo help battle these daunting statistics\, Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation’s (MFBF’s) Young Farmer and Rancher (YF&R) committee has undertaken a ‘Harvest For All’ drive – and one of their locations will be Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery at Barstow’s Longview Farm in Hadley on Saturday\, August 10. The goal of this drive is to collect donations\, including locally grown food\, to be donated to local food banks. \nAt the end of this drive at Barstow’s\, all proceeds and food donations will be donated to the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts in Hatfield.\nHow can you help?\n\nStop by Barstow’s on August 10 and purchase an extra item – or two – to donate at MFBF’s YF&R table in the store.\nStop by Barstow’s store on August 10 and donate cash at MFBF’s YF&R table in the store. Only cash or checks can be accepted.\nIf you can’t make it to the store on Aug. 10\, please contact Katelyn Parsons\, MFBF Director of Marketing and Communications\, via email at katelyn@mfbf.net to see how you can still contribute to this cause.\n\nCombat local hunger and support local agriculture at the same time.\nHarvest for All is a nationwide campaign\, and in past years has donated a total of 28.9 million pounds of food\, spent almost 10\,000 hours volunteering and donated $1.1 million to local food banks. That’s just in one year! For 15 years\, this campaign has been growing and MFBF’s YF&R would like to see it expand into Massachusetts. \nWe look forward to seeing you on Saturday\, August 10!
