So very happy you are able to continue to serve the community during this difficult time. You give honor to the great tradition of New England farmers. Thank you.

We absolutely love your farm, your family and your deli! You have the most amazing food served with a smile! Best hidden treasure around here! Thank you for all that you do!
Love you!
We love Barstows!!
I have never actually been been, but your Farm is a fun destination halfway between my daughter and I! She is a nurse in Beverley, Mass! We planned on taking a tour this spring…. but of course that is on hold. Your newsletter always makes me smile (and hungry!) and someday we are going to visit! I am praying for you and all the other small businesses that are still serving our community!
Good luck and thanks for smiles!!

I love going to Barstow’s. I would always invite my family to come visit and take them to Barstow’s for some fantastic food and to listen to great music from Country Roads when they were playing. My idea of a good day.

We are so proud to have Barstow’s in the neighborhood. Such a wonderful farm at a beautiful location.
I used to work in the CREAM Program (the University of Vermont’s dairy farm) and the calf I helped raise (named Ethel, former UVM ear tag number was 3916) was sold to your farm with a group of heifers last fall. I follow your Instagram page and I just want to say it’s such a nice feeling to know she went to such a wonderful and well-operated farm, and I hope she’s doing well there!
I love Barstow’s!!!!
