The Kitchen Garden

Kitchen Garden Farm is a 50-acre certified organic vegetable farm in the Pioneer Valley, with fields on both sides of the Connecticut River in Sunderland and Whately. Started in 2006 on a single acre of rented land, the farm was transferred in 2023 to longtime employees Lilly Israel and Max Traunstein, who now own and operate it. In addition to growing a wide range of organic vegetables, the farm produces its own line of preserved foods: naturally fermented sriracha in three heat levels (original, habanero, and ghost pepper), two fire-roasted salsas, and an organic giardiniera, all made from crops grown on the farm. The original sriracha is a 2017 Good Food Award winner. Products are available through the farm's online shop, at retail stores, and via wholesale. Learn more on their About Page.
