On February 17th, a terrible fire resulted in the complete destruction of Red Fire Farm’s beloved Granby barn and farm store. As we continue the processing of rebuilding, we’re asking our community for support. In this time of need, we can use any and all help you can afford to give towards the rebuilding efforts and construction of our temporary farm stand at 7 Carver Street. We are grateful for everything and love you all. Thank you always for your support!
Here are SIX ways you can help us rebuild:
1. Donate to our GoFundMe campaign
If you have resources to support us with a donation, we will very much need funds to rebuild and replace the equipment and supplies lost in the fire. No gift is too small and no gift is too big. We appreciate any help!
Or, if you’d prefer to mail us a donation instead, checks can be sent to our farm office at 184 Meadow Road, Montague, MA 01351. Just be sure to include “Donation” in the memo (and we wouldn’t mind a little written note from you saying hello, either!).

2. Donate to our tool drive in Granby
We are looking to crowdsource a collection of gardening tools after our entire Granby collection was lost in the fire. If you’re able to donate, you can bring tools to 7 Carver Street in Granby and drop them off anytime in front of the burned barn remains. Tools needed include hoes, leaf rakes, shovels, stake pounders, garden rakes, pitchforks, hoes (wheeled, co-linear, weeding, bladed for trenching), trowels, snow shovels, measuring wheels, bow saws, sharpening grinders, sledgehammers, vegetable hand seeders, stake pullers, and more. Thank you!
3. Shop our organic produce in Granby and at farmers markets
Though our primary retail space in Granby was lost, we’re still growing and selling lots of organic produce. Happily, our temporary store is now up and running in Granby, which you can visit at 7 Carver Street (9-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9-5 p.m. on Sundays). You can find our current farmers market booths on Tuesdays in Northampton and Springfield and on Saturdays in Amherst and Greenfield. You can also place bulk orders via our online form here.

4. Sign up for a Summer CSA Share
The summer CSA season, which begins in June, will be here before you know it! Getting your signup and any early payment you can manage for 2024 into us sooner rather than later will be a huge help for us as we prepare for the upcoming season. It’s a great way to support the farm and enjoy delicious organic vegetables and local add-ons all summer long!
