THANK YOU to everyone who joined my tour—including State Sens Jo Comerford & John Cronin, State Reps Susannah Whipps & Natalie Higgins, Deerfield Selectman Tim Hilchey, MDAR, CISA, American Farmland Trust, Mass Food Systems Collaborative…
The final stop on my Farm Tour is The Brewery at Four Star Farms!
The L’Etoile family has been farming this land for 40 years & started a brewery on the property that now serves Flis Woodfire Pizza. We took a tour of the brewery & learned about how important agri-tourism is to our region!
Al & Nancy also have an incredible cidery, a brew barn, an ice cream window, a MASSIVE farm store, and an event space for live music & festivals. There’s SO MUCH to do at this incredible farm that traces its roots all the way back to the American Revolution!
As costs continue to soar, family farms are finding innovative ways to make a living. Case in point—Red Apple Farm in Phillipston! From peaches & apples to blueberries & sunflowers, you can find just about anything here (and you can pick it yourself)!
Plus—he’s diversifying his business by hosting Friday night community BBQs and creating a beautiful event space to keep up with rising costs & the economic chaos caused by tariffs. So innovative—and his legendary snack sticks are award winning (#1 snack stick nationwide)! Well done Matt!!!
Our next stop is Valley View Farm in Templeton! Matt & his family butcher & sell a great selection of local meats.
But because of soaring costs & Trump’s Iran War, that’s getting harder—diesel prices are through the roof, and the cost of farming chemicals has more than DOUBLED. Thankfully, Sholan hasn’t raised their prices—putting their community above their profits. Greedy corporations should take notes!!!
Kicking off day 2 of my 16th annual Farm Tour at Sholan Farms, wholly owned by the community of Leominster! For over 25 years, Joanne & her team (many of whom are volunteers!) have provided our community with fresh produce at fair prices.
Dan told me he’s being squeezed by rising costs and cutthroat corporate growers that are pushing small family farms out of business. We MUST put our local farms first & support ambitious, young farmers like Dan who are keeping our community fed with nutritious & fresh farm-to-table produce!
Day one of my 16th annual Farm Tour is in the books! For our last stop, we swung by Good Bunch Farm, which grows a diverse array of incredible fresh produce, all sold to local residents & restaurants within 10 miles of the farm.
For our 3rd stop, we toured Marty’s Local—a wholesale food distributor in South Deerfield that partners with 160 local farms to supply grocers, colleges, restaurants, and school districts with fresh produce grown by our local farmers!
Stop #2 is Thomas Farm in Sunderland! Loved meeting their goats & tasting their delicious goat cheese.
Laurie & Jim told me the soaring cost of farm equipment are making it harder for them to make a living. I hope you’ll join me in supporting our family farms!
Kicking off my 16th annual Farm Tour at Mapleline Farm! For over a decade, Jessica’s family has provided western & central MA with fresh, local milk (including UMass Amherst dining halls). Supporting local family farms is great for our economy—and their milk is delicious!
I saw Dolly Parton with Kenny Rogers at the Worcester centrum in 1985. I loved her then and loved her ever since. She was a great artist with a big heart who appealed to the very best in all of us. Thank you for everything, Dolly.
BIG NEWS—Bernardston officially has a BRAND NEW fire station after I secured over $1 million in federal funding for this critical project. An important investment that will give our firefighters the tools they need to keep all of us safe!
This is what he’s doing instead of lowering your prices. Pathetic.
Who’s making money off Trump’s war of choice with Iran?
✅Big Oil profits DOUBLED
✅Trump made $15.5 MILLION off his oil & gas stock holdings
✅Fossil Fuel CEOs sold $1.4 BILLION in stock
❌Americans are paying $71.5 BILLION more for gas
Thrilled to announce renovations at Worcester East Middle School are complete! With the help of local leaders, we replaced all 375 windows, creating a healthier learning environment.
While Trump is tearing down our education system, we’re building better schools for kids to learn & grow!
Totally normal! Nothing to see here, folks!
