Southwick Farms Database Project

Questionnaire for farm facts & history for either CURRENT or HISTORICAL farms in Southwick, MA

Thank you for your help!

When was your farm established?

Is it still active?

How many generations of ownership has or did it go through?

How many acres are or were on your farm?:

Are or were your operations seasonal or year-round?

What are your current crops/goods you produce? If historical farm, what crops or goods did your farm produce?

Are there any crops/goods you used to generate on your farm that you no longer produce?

Any future crop(s) you’re possibly interested in?

Do/did you have any livestock? If so, what kind and about how many?

Are there products available for purchase? (i.e. is there a farm stand there at the farm? Can products be purchased a local grocery store or shop?) If so, what are the products?

Do you give tours of your operations? (i.e. like an animal petting area or guided hike through your land):

Do you do participate in any programs like 4H or offer apprenticeships?

What’s the best way for people to contact your farm?

Anything else you’d like to share about your farm (i.e. unique features? Historical facts? Any interesting things about the land itself?):

Hard-Working Families Providing Local Nourishment and helping Southwick become a more resilient community...in the past, present, and future!

We are working on developing a Southwick Farms Database and need your help!

Our goal is to document ALL current farms as well as farms that used to operate in town. We used to have many dairy farms in Southwick, but as of 2023, there are none. We want to learn where farms of the past operated in town and what they produced so we can preserve our history!

If you or your family currently have or had a farm here in Southwick, small or big, no matter what is being/was produced, we want to hear from you! Please fill out the form on this page and provide whatever information you can. We appreciate your help in helping us create and maintain this database!

Thank you!
