Our last stop was at Outlook Farm in #Westhampton where I met Brad who runs the barn and eatery. They offer fruits, veggies, apple cider, fresh pork and homemade baked goods. Thanks to good business they have been able to expand multiple times.pic.twitter.com/jYEpCzj1EZ

Aaron and Kim at @HagersFarm in #Shelburne struggled with rising costs at their dairy farm so they worked with the Farm Service Agency at @USDA to transition their 700 acres to produce & a market. Still they are concerned. “I don’t want to have to sell my land to retire.”pic.twitter.com/h4ZEqYQ6FH

David at Sunbrite Farm in #Bernardston said that the Trump #tariffs are killing his milk prices. As a member of Our Family Farms, a marketing co-op of local dairy farmers working together, he is able to strategize with other local farms struggling with similar issues.pic.twitter.com/9pCkxZvc3x

Thanks to Chris and Roland at Eden Pond Farm in #Bernardston for giving me a tour of their poultry farm and for a great discussion on the #GOPTaxBill and what it meant for working farmers. Spoiler alert: it didn’t help or address any of their concerns.pic.twitter.com/vllXe4u5Ez

Thanks to @FoodBankWMA @oneholyoke @AaronMVega and the great volunteers for having me at the #Holyoke mobile food bank today. This specific site serves anywhere from 160-250 individuals twice a month. We are lucky to have them.pic.twitter.com/XS9ApMJSPn
