Description

Small Ones Farm is a 63-acre, family-owned farm in South Amherst. We grow tree fruit (apples, peaches, plums and pears), berries, pumpkins and herbs for local markets using natural (i.e., no synthetic chemicals), sustainable and biodynamic growing practices. We participate in the Certified Naturally Grown program. We sell our produce through a fruit CSA, our farm stand, and wholesale buyers.

At Small Ones Farm, we aim to educate young people about farming and the environment. Our education programs include a summer internship for college students, community service and CIT opportunities for middle and high school students, school visit programs, and a summer camp for young children, which features a wonderful childrens garden and our 500-pound pet pig.

Products

Apples, peaches, pears, plums, raspberries, blueberries, pumpkins, hay, herbs, apple cider, apple cider vinegar, apple pies. We will offer other local organic products at our farm shop during our season.

Our fruit CSA runs from late August through late October and costs $200/share. Pick-ups are on Saturdays, 9 a.m. to noon, and Wednesdays, 2 to 6 p.m.

Over the course of the harvest, you will receive five to six pounds of tree fruits each week (peaches, pears, plums and many varieties of apples); assorted cantaloupe and watermelons; blueberries and raspberries; a 10-pound bag of apples you and your family pick at our CSA U-Pick event; and one of our delicious apple pies.
