Summary
Holiday Brook Farm is located in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. It currently encompasses some 1300 acres of open fields, forest and pasture. As you drive along Rt.9 coming from Northampton to Pittsfield, the farm stretches out on both sides of the road as you come down the hill from Windsor into Dalton.
The farm produces hay, compost, maple syrup and firewood. Also on-site is an organic vegetable CSA and farmstand, horse boarding and lessons, and a daffodil bulb & fern production operation.
In 2007, Desiree & Jesse Roberston-DuBois were hired as farm managers to synergize the farm’s existing operations and diversify into new ventures including opening a farm-stand, pastured and grass-fed meats and expanding the vegetable operations. In 2008, we applied for and got a Farm Viability Grant to help with the expansion and diversification of some of the farm’s ventures. So far, there are plans in the works for a larger CSA distribution facility, commercial kitchen and classroom and a new livestock barn with improved fencing. The pastured pork operation has grown to include four sows. The first of the beef breeding stock has arrived and is happily eating grass around the farm.
