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

We also produce maple syrup and honey, as well as plants for sale in spring--perennial and annual flowers, vegetable starts, and herbs. Our 22 acre farm is located on Christian Hill in Colrain, Massachusetts in the Deerfield River Watershed.

Rich Pascale has farmed full-time since 1972. 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.
