Atlas Farm

About

Atlas Farm is a small organic farm located in Deerfield, Massachusetts. We harvest delicious food from our fields and greenhouses year-round.

Story

Atlas Farm produce is sold at farmers' markets in Western Massachusetts and Boston, at our farm store in South Deerfield, and wholesale to area restaurants and groceries throughout the season. We take pride in what we do here at Atlas, and are grateful for our connections to land and community.

Mission

Beyond the word "organic", our farm is dedicated to producing food in a way that will maintain biological diversity, support natural ecosystems, and keep the land productive for future generations.

Our goal is to minimize the impact of the farm on the surrounding ecosystem. For these reasons, we add fertility to our fields by cover cropping and using organic, naturally occurring fertilizers.

We manage pests by crop rotation and cultivar selection, and use organic pesticides only as a last resort. We strive to be efficient in our use of fossil fuels and are constantly trying new approaches and innovations in the interest of producing less waste. Ultimately, we are striving towards being a 100% bio/solar powered farm. Currently we use corn-burning stoves to heat our greenhouses and we are green-lighted to begin building solar panels on our main barn in the spring of 2012. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to know more about how we farm.
