Red Fire Farm is a 178 acre organic farm split between the towns of Montague and Granby, Massachusetts. The farm is owned and operated by Ryan and Sarah Voiland and their crew of dedicated farm hands, managers, and office workers who help keep the farm in working order.
The farm has about 100 acres in organic food production supplying their wholesale, CSA, and farm stand business. The farm does everything from seeding and harvesting to packing and shipping. This past winter they supplied us with beautiful carrots, celeriac, turnips, cabbage, watermelon radishes, and other exquisite root crops.
Upon arrival at the farm, Ryan showed us a map of the new acreage on the Montague property and explained that the soil in this area of the Pioneer Valley is especially fertile. He told us that part of the Montague farm lies between two rivers – the Saw Mill River and the Connecticut. The rivers’ mineral rich waters produce a soil that is rich in nutrients and excellent for farming. After the overview of the land, Ryan showed us around the farm.
The greenhouse is filled with plants started from seed. Soon all of these veggies will be in the ground! 
Vegetables started from seed and hardened off outside are ready to transplant into the fields. 
The transplanter is loaded up and headed to the fields.

Ryan shows Jeff how the they graft each individual tomato plant by hand. Grafting is the process of merging a root stem from one plant to another. Ryan is grafting a particularly flavorful tomato variety to a root stock that is more resilient. Red Fire Farm grows 150 varieties of tomatoes.

Red Fire Farm does all of its own distribution.
We had a great time touring the farm and hope to continue working with them in the future. Take a look at our Facebook page for more photos of our farm tour!
We want to thank everyone for their generous contribution to the One Fund Boston Marathon relief organization. Due to overwhelming response from you all, we are happy to say we were able to match $1,000 of your donations! Together, our Boston Organics community raised $2,120 over the course of just a few days.
Through thoughtful donations like yours, One Fund Boston has raised $21 Million to date. These proceeds will greatly benefit the victims and their families affected by the tragic events at the marathon.
Given the time-sensitive nature of the One Fund donations, we have discontinued our Marathon Donation add-on and encourage you to make future donations to the One Fund Boston directly through their website.
Thank you again for your compassion, patience, resilience, and generosity. We are Boston Organics Strong!

We are deeply saddened by the tragic events that happened at last week’s Marathon, and our hearts and thoughts are with everyone impacted by the acts of violence. We want to do what we can to help. The One Fund Boston, an initiative put forth by Governor Patrick and Mayor Menino, is raising money to help those families most affected by the tragic events at the Boston Marathon. Boston Organics customers are now able to donate to One Fund in $5 increments as an add-on. We will be matching the first $500 donated. Thank you for your help!
