The Pioneer Valley and Connecticut River Valley support many family farms and organic grocery cooperatives. During the summer almost every major road in the area has a farmstand, featuring fresh-picked fruits and vegetables. Many towns also host farmer’s markets once or twice a week, where you can find locally produced breads and cheeses, specialty vinegars and oils, and seasonal produce and flowering plants.
