Overview
Pesticide-free vegetable farm and farm store with pasture-raised heritage poultry, pigs, and a CSA in the Berkshires.
Red Shirt Farm is a small, diversified family farm in the Berkshires, run by farmer Jim Schultz and farm manager Sarah. The farm grows around 50 kinds of vegetables, herbs, and flowers, and raises heritage-breed chickens, turkeys, and pigs on pasture. Products are sold through an on-farm store and a flexible CSA membership: rather than a weekly box, members receive a prepaid account they spend in the store on any day it is open. The store also carries eggs, bread, dairy, meat, and prepared food. SNAP and HIP are accepted, and a reduced-cost Share the Bounty membership is available through Berkshire Grown. Learn more on their About Page.
Red Shirt Farm grows vegetables without pesticides (including organic pesticides), herbicides, chemical fertilizers, or GMOs, citing protection of beneficial insects, native pollinators, and soil microorganisms as the reasons. The farm minimizes tillage to preserve soil structure and biology and to sequester carbon. Animals, including Buckeye and Australorp heritage chickens, turkeys, and several pig breeds, are reared on pasture and processed on the farm. The farm breeds and hatches its own heritage poultry. Solar panels on the barn supply most of the farm's electricity, and a climate battery system heats one greenhouse through fall and winter without fossil fuels. Red Shirt Farm describes its growing practices as grounded in regenerative principles and participates in grant-funded research on the effects of regenerative farming on food quality.
