In the United States, more than 40 percent of all food produced ends up being discarded. With seven FarmPowered anaerobic digesters in New England, Vanguard Renewables is the largest organics recycler in the Northeast. While waste reduction strategies can help minimize this waste, currently much of this inedible food is still sent to landfills or incinerators, but can be repurposed to produce carbon negative renewable natural gas. Vanguard Renewables Farm Powered anaerobic digesters, located on farms, provide the American farmer with a diversified income stream and low carbon fertilizer that host farms use to support regenerative agriculture practice.
Join Denise Barstow from Barstow’s Longview Farm in Hadley, MA and Ryan Harb of Vanguard Renewables as he discusses the food waste problem, how anaerobic digesters work, the Vanguard process including our new depackaging facility in Agawam, Mass., and how companies, institutions, and municipalities can get involved.

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!

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.

Pi Day
2020-03-14 08:00 - 16:00 | Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery, 172 Hockanum Road, Hadley, MA, 01035, United States
Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th, or 3.14.
Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159.
At Barstow’s, we celebrate with something else that is round and constant. Constantly delicious that is! Pie!
Enjoy a slice of homemade pie with a scoop of local Maple Valley Creamery ice cream or a stick of Cabot Creamery Cooperative Seriously Sharp cheddar!
March 14 is for celebrating the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter… but also your neighborhood bakery’s homemade pies!
