After a few nights of hard frost, we are coming to the tail end of our harvest season. Tomatoes, peppers, okra, cucamelons, and summer squash are all done for the year. There is plenty left to enjoy, though, including greens, root veggies, lots of herbs, and our favorite seasonal veggie, butternut squash. We grow this at our satellite field and lovingly schlep it back to the home farm.

Come grab some squash from under the pavilion! For maximum flavor, we recommend that you let the squash sit on your counter for at least a month, because the sugars in the squash continue developing over time.

Come pick your own! We'll have veggies available to harvest for the next few weeks. Always free

Want to throw down under the new moon with a trio of klezmer musicians? 🌑🔥🎶 This year, because of the lunisolar calendar, our annual Sukkot Harvest Festival has transformed into the New Moon Harvest Festival! You won't want to miss the unique activities we have planned, including a flaming torch ritual, menstrual relief tea blend making, and more. Come learn about ritual connections to the moon, or just party and eat, on the Jewish holiday of Rosh Chodesh this Sunday, Oct 11, 1- 4 pm!

RSVP online at www.abundancefarm.org/events. Tickets are available at a sliding scale and no one will be turned away for a lack of funds.

Are you hungry? We're metaphorically heating the oven up for our largest Farm celebration of the year, the New Moon Harvest Festival, this Sunday, Oct 11, 1- 4 pm! Come celebrate the season, nosh on some fresh-baked bread from our clay oven, drink the freshest apple c***r there is, and bring a vegetable to add to our communal stone soup. See you there!

A peek at what we've been up to recently at Abundance Farm🌼🌽🖌

- Filling up our farm vehicle with butternut squash, popcorn, and flowers for drying
- Cutting down corn stalks to use as schach (the natural roof) for our sukkah
- Arranging ourselves like a renaissance painting to move a tarp full of screened compost

Join us in some farm work any Wednesday afternoon between 3-6 till the end of October!

It's root veggie season! All over the farm, we've got hakurei turnips, salad radishes, and our first taste of carrots ready to pull up.

Coming soon, we'll have even more carrots, beets, watermelon radishes, and purple-top turnips.

Most root vegetables have edible greens, and hakurei turnip greens are especially delicious. Don't throw them away!

As usual, please follow the signs, and only harvest from sections that have a sign that says "take a little" or "take a lot" on it.

Please help support this important food sovereignty project!

Dear community, WE NEED YOUR HELP TO GET TO 500 BELCHERTOWN SIGNATURES ON OUR PETITION BY SEPTEMBER 29.

https://www.change.org/p/return-lampson-brook-farm-to-the-nipmuc-people

We have been busy building broad support in Belchertown for returning Lampson Brook Farm to the Nipmuc. For the most part Belchertown residents are very excited and on board with our vision. Our lawn signs are all over town, which is great to see!

We’ve been in conversation with important people at the state level who want to move this effort forward. A big uptick in petition signatures- especially from Belchertown residents- would be really helpful right now to further press decision makers to act. Here’s where you come in- can you ask 5-10 friends in MA (especially Belchertown!) to sign our petition in the next week?

We harvested about 100 # of delicata squash today!

We'll have squash out on the Farm during the day - come and grab some under the pavilion. We'll put more out each day until it's gone.

Squash is a food traditionally eaten at the Sephardic and Mizrahi Rosh Hashanah seder. Shana Tova! Happy New Year!

Join us September 3rd from 6-8 pm for a Potluck Story Circle. Everyone has a dish that is important to their family, culture, or personal story. We invite you to prepare a beverage or dish that is meaningful to you, using an ingredient grown on Abundance Farm, and bring it to share with the community—along with your recipe and story about the dish's significance to you.

The ingredients do not need to be harvested from Abundance Farm. You can see a full list of what we grow and what’s in season by visiting: www.abundancefarm.org/pick-your-own. This is a great opportunity to share about the foods that are important to you and deepen your connection to others through a shared love of food, land, and community.

Please RSVP online at www.abundancefarm.org/events.

More fruit available in the orchard this week as fall sneaks up on us - Asian pears and apples are both ripening! Grab a handful to enjoy on the spot or take home.

Individual trees are labeled accurately, so please check the signs to make sure you're harvesting from a tree with ripe fruit! Enjoy🍎🍐🌱
