Shoestring Farm is a small organic farm growing vegetables and small fruits on approximately 3 cultivated acres.

We also produce maple syrup and perennial, annual, and herb plants for sale in spring. Our 22 acre farm is located on Christian Hill in Colrain, Massachusetts in the Deerfield River Watershed.

Rich Pascale has farmed organically full-time for 36 years. Rich is one of the co-founders and growers for Common Wealth Cooperative CSA and has been a vendor at the Greenfield Farmer’s Market since it began in 1975.
