National Drive Thru Day 2022
2022-07-24 08:00 - 17:00 | Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, 172 Hockanum Road, Hadley, MA, 01035, United States
Happy National Drive Thru Window Day! (yes it’s a thing!)
When we opened up Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery in 2008, we left many scratching their heads…. a drive thru window at a farmstand? We wanted to best serve our community: commuters, dog owners, parents with kiddos in car seats, and all.
The drive thru window was frequented in the morning by a few regulars and a convenient stop for lunch or a milkshake on the go. That is until March 2020….
During the early months of the COVID19 health emergency, Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery had transitioned fully to drive thru service only.
Now that some bit of normalcy is back in our lives, Barstow’s is open inside for ordering, shopping, and dining – but our drive thru remains open!
It is easy to visit our drive thru window. Simply stop at the speaker at the top of the hill to check out our menu and place your order. We ask that you please stop at that speaker even if you’ve ordered ahead. Once you get the all clear, pull on up to the window where we can ring you out and get you your goodies! From there, you’re welcome to enjoy your meal at home, or pull back around via 47 to the parking area and outdoor seating.
We are glad to take your call about what is in stock at Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery (413) 586-2142. And of course, happy to take your call ahead orders.

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 June 1 and June 30, 2022.
June is Dairy Month. Complete and submit your Dairy Crawl Passport by June 30 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

And all SIX stamps = 20 raffle entries

Winners will be notified by email or phone.

World Baking Day
2022-05-17 06:00 - 16:00 | Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, 172 Hockanum Road, Hadley, MA, 01035, United States
While the rest of her tow-headed siblings and cousins were following around the farmers, you could find Shannon in the Farmhouse. And more specifically, you could find her in the kitchen with her Grandmother.
Generation 7 know her as Grandma, but you might know her as Marjorie Shipman Barstow. Grandma baked for therapy and cooked for love. The farmers made the Farmhouse a regular stop for a slice of pie. The grandchildren buzzed around the kitchen hoping to be offered a chocolate chip cookie.
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.
Shannon acted as sous chef and eager student. Grandma rarely had her recipes written down, so Shannon paid special attention to ingredients and methods.
As a teen, Grandma invited Shannon up to learn her apple pie recipe. She encouraged her granddaughter to enter the pie into the 3 County Fair.
Shannon won the blue ribbon at the fair with her grandmother’s apple pie recipe.
Grandma was thrilled!
Today, Shannon continues to prepare Grandma Barstow’s chocolate chip cookies, apple pies, and other family recipes at Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery.
Marjorie Shipman Barstow passed away in March 2017, but her love and legacy lives on in Shannon’s kitchen. And we finally got those recipes down on paper to live on for generations to come!

Did you know America loves apple pie so much there are TWO dates to celebrate National Apple Pie Day? One of those dates is in December and the other is May 13!
At Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, we celebrate Apple Pie every single day!
Shannon Barstow, seventh generation and Head Baker, uses Grandma Barstow’s tried, true, and truly delicious apple pie recipe.
Order a whole pie for the family or come for a slice. Join the debate – what’s better with a slice of apple pie: a scoop of local vanilla ice cream or a hunk of Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese! Barstow’s will be open on National Apple Pie Day from 6am-4pm.

Pasture Day 2022
2022-05-07 11:30 - 15:00 | Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, 172 Hockanum Road, Hadley, MA, 01035, United States
Pasture Day is a farm favorite!
And for the first time since 2019, it will be back as we love it most: in person, with our community, together again on the farmstand lawn.
After inspecting and repairing fence, the farmers are ready to let the girls out of the barn and into the field. Spring is here! And with winter months in the barn behind them, the cows will be frolicking their way into the green green grass!
This event is not to be missed!
Grab some lunch or some ice cream – and a spot on the hill! The heifers are released at 1:00pm!
We’ll be offering a free walking farm tour at 11:30am. Please note we will not accommodate late arrivals! Wear boots that can get muddy. The walking tour is about 1/4 mile and involves hills and uneven terrain.
Live music on the porch by Old Country Road, noon-2pm. Free wagon ride farm tours after the cows are out! Wagon tours end at 3pm so the farmers can get to evening chores on time.
This is a free, family friendly event at your local dairy farm! Hope to see you there!

Cows & Conservation: ﻿An Innovative Farm Tour
2021-11-13 10:00 - 12:00 | Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, 172 Hockanum Road, Hadley, MA, 01035, United States
In 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 215 year-old dairy farm to secure its future. They purchased robotic milkers, a tool that improves milk production, animal health, and farm efficiency.
On November 13 from 10 am to noon, visit this innovative local dairy farm in Hadley with seventh generation family member Denise Barstow. She will take you on a tour of the farm to 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.
This 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.
This event is free, but donations are welcome. Registration is required and space is limited!
Please register here.
