Many Hands Farm

All campers visited Many Hands Farm in Amherst this week. Many Hands is a new farm as of last year, next door to the Amethyst Brook conservation area in Amherst. It is a CSA (community-supported agriculture) farm with about 80 shares over the summer, offering vegetables, herbs and flowers.

 

Farmer Eric met us and gave us a tour around the farm and answered our questions.

  
Campers herded and picked up chickens, patted the goats, and picked some ripe squash and bell peppers. 

 They witnessed potato bugs and saw the resulting dead potato plants, but also got to dig up the potatoes, which were small but still in good shape!
