Red Shirt Farm Market
The store is small, but there's a lot here. Our own vegetables, picked from the field or cut from the greenhouse that morning. Bread from East Fork Bread, baked fresh every Saturday by Ben Rossman, available all week. Artisan sourdough and gluten-free loaves from Our Daily Bread in Chatham, NY, in fresh on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Eggs, meat, and poultry from Square Roots Farm, just down the road in Lanesborough. Beef and pork from Sweet Brook Farm and Cricket Creek Farm. Maple syrup from Ioka Valley Farm in Hancock. Raw honey from Fahey Family Farm.
Prepared foods made in our on-site commercial kitchen: soups, salads, wraps, power bowls, cookies, muffins, seasonal pies. Mushrooms from Delftree. Cheese from Berle Farm and Chaseholm. Fermented foods, pantry staples, beverages — nearly everything from within 100 miles.
We stock what we'd feed our own family. That's the standard. Nothing on these shelves has an ingredient list you'd need to look up. SNAP and HIP accepted.
The way we farm
No pesticides. No herbicides. No synthetic fertilizers. We work with the biology of the soil, not against it.
We farm no-till and low-till, protect the soil with cover crops and mulch, and rotate both crops and animals across the land. These aren't marketing claims — they're the practices that produce better food and leave the land healthier than we found it.
Soil health takes years to build. We've been building it since the beginning.
Become a member
Our CSA is how some customers choose to buy. You load a card at the start of the season, shop on your own schedule, and receive a 10% bonus on whatever you put in.
No fixed pickup days. No pre-selected boxes. Just your card, our store, and whatever looks good that week.
Members also get access to our private pick-your-own herb and flower garden and a few other small perks that make the season feel like it's yours.
Heritage pork, raised here
We raise seven pigs a year. That's the carrying capacity of this land, and we don't push past it.
They're a heritage cross that thrives on pasture and produces pork with a depth of flavor that commercial breeds lost generations ago.
Ours are fed non-GMO feed and vegetable scraps from our gardens. They have full access to fresh pasture and are rotated to new ground regularly. They root for grubs, lie in the sun, and wallow in the mud to cool off. These are things a pig raised on concrete in a warehouse will never do. We think it matters — for the animal, and for what ends up on your table.
You're buying a half or a whole, and you know exactly how it was raised from the day it arrived on this farm.
Seven pigs means fourteen customers, at most. If you're interested, get in touch early.

"There aren’t enough good things to say about Red Shirt Farm. Jim puts his heart and soul into producing the tastiest, most nutrient-dense vegetables and fruit around and the 5 months we get to enjoy them are my favorite time of year. We travel roughly 90 minutes each week to gather our food and it is always always worth the trip. Our family loves watching this farm grow and it is truly a gem in the Berkshires."

“When I saw the actual farm I was blown away with the scope, the science, and the beauty of it. It's a gem, truly lovely to look at, and this shines through in the food they produce. We just started eating meat a few years ago, and wanted to support the most sustainable and humanely produced - Red Shirt is the best we have found. Everything they do is top quality.”
