ABOUT MANY HANDS ORGANIC FARM


Many Hands Organic Farm (MHOF) grows certified organic produce, meat and eggs in Barre, MA (Baystate Organic Certifiers and the Real Organic Project). MHOF has been in existence since 1982 and has been selling to the public since 1985. We are highly diverse, no till, and focus on high quality and nutrient density through practices supporting maximum photosynthesis.

Announcing the publication of our book:

This is a memoir of our lives and sometimes risky decisions. We relate our early years, meeting and raising kids, and building the farm, the organic movement and a healthy community. We didn’t always go along with what most Americans were doing, especially in the areas of diet and health care, employment, debt and consumerism, energy use, and culture. In this book we explain what we did, why we did it, and how it turned out. We hope it is both entertaining and helpful to people wanting to fashion a purposeful life.

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony.” Mahatma Gandhi

That is clearly very wise wisdom, and each day I start out with that as my intention. I usually come into problems when I encounter the first other person that day! I have for a long time been convinced that my thoughts are out there for the world to see. This is particularly clear for […]

Don’t put ice cream on top of poop – Kim D’Eramo

Welcome back everyone. I missed you! After looking at light boxes for 3 plus weeks now (almost 2 weeks to go), I actually am seeing better! Most noticeable is that it is easier to drive places and to do it with calmness. The light box will be followed by 12 weeks of vision therapy. Sky […]
