George Hall Farm

George Hall Farm holds certified organic status through Baystate Organic Certifiers of Massachusetts, a certification in place since 1979. The farm grows a range of vegetables across the seasons, including heirloom varieties of crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, and carrots. Hoop houses on the property help extend the growing season and allow for greater climate control over crops. The farm's hens have access to indoor and outdoor areas and eat a diet of the farm's organic vegetables in summer, supplemented with non-GMO grain in winter. Beehives are kept at the edge of the fields; the bees pollinate the farm's crops, and the resulting honey is extracted, spun, filtered, and bottled on the farm. Daren Hall also trains and works with teams of oxen, which can be used to pull plows and cultivators in the field.
