Here at River Valley Co-op we have several local, family-owned farms, humanely-raised turkeys that are antibiotic and hormone free. Stop by the co-op this Thanksgiving to purchase poultry products from Diemand Farm in Wendell, MA, Misty Knoll Farm in New Haven, VT and finally Stonewood Farm in Orwell, VT.
Flower season is nowhere near being over just yet! We’ve got some of the most perfect specimens from Many Graces Flower Farm in Hadley and Wild Rose Farm in Northampton.
Two weeks ago, we had invited Big Picture Beef to present their product at the staff huddle. We learned about grass-fed versus grain, and the economical effects of supporting rural, locally grown grass-fed beef. We had the opportunity to sit down with Ridge Shinn to talk more in depth about his process and why customers should care about supporting grass-fed.
