The Story
He moved through the store with purpose. Picked up a bunch of carrots, turned an onion in his hand, checked the weight of a squash. Each choice deliberate. By the time he reached the counter, his basket was full of color and life.
“What are you making with all this?” I asked.
“It's the way I eat,” he said. Then he looked me square in the eye. “I shouldn't really be alive.”
He'd served at Camp Lejeune. Cancers, more than one. Still here at 63, strong and standing. He said he'd healed his body with food and faith.
We talked for a while — two men the same age, opposite ends of the political spectrum, disagreeing agreeably. When he left he shook my hand: “It's good to be able to have a discussion with someone you disagree with.”
That's what we built this store for.
Jim & Sarah Schultz. She runs the fields. He runs the store. Between them, it works.
What we are
We sit somewhere between a farm stand and a grocery store — and that's exactly where we mean to be.
A farm stand is wonderful, but limited. A grocery store is convenient, but disconnected. We're trying to offer the best of both: vegetables harvested from our fields up the road, alongside a carefully chosen mix of local meats, dairy, real bread, prepared food from our kitchen, and pantry staples from small regional producers we actually know.
The food here has a story and a standard behind it. We know where it came from. In most cases, we grew it ourselves.
What You’ll Find
You can come in for salad greens and leave with bread, a jar of local honey, and something for dinner you hadn't thought of yet.
That's not an accident — it's what we're aiming for.
Our Farm
Salad mix, kale, chard, spinach, arugula, cooking greens, radishes, beets, carrots, onions, garlic, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, summer and winter squash, fresh herbs, and whatever else is coming out of the field or greenhouse that week. The selection changes with the season because that's how farming works.
Our Kitchen
Fresh muffins and cookies. Soups made with this week's vegetables. Salads, dips, spreads, grab-and-go lunches, and heat-and-eat dinners. Our baker and chef work from what the farm is producing — so the food in the case changes with the season, the same way the shelves do. Made here, from ingredients we grew or know by name.
Local Partners
Pasture-raised meats and frozen cuts. Local eggs. Dairy from nearby farms — milk, butter, yogurt, artisan cheese. Sourdough and fresh bread from local bakers. Coffee, maple syrup, honey, jams, pasta, grains, beans, sauces, snacks, and pantry staples from small food makers across the region.
A real week of eating, from one stop on Route 7.
Come in often?
Our CSA might be worth a look.
Members buy a share at the start of the season. That investment goes directly toward early farm costs — seeds, compost, labor — at the time of year when the bills are real but the harvest is still weeks away. Once the season begins, your share becomes store credit you use at the register.
No fixed box. No pickup window. No pile of vegetables someone else selected for you.
You come in when you want, choose what you actually want, and your balance applies at checkout. Members receive 10% off all Red Shirt Farm produce throughout the season.
This model keeps the trust and commitment of a CSA — and removes the friction of the box.
Good food should be within reach.
We accept SNAP and HIP
Your EBT card works here — just swipe at the register like you would anywhere else. HIP, the Healthy Incentives Program, doubles your benefits on Massachusetts-grown fruits and vegetables and loads automatically at checkout.
