We cultivate brambles (Ribes and Rubrus) and many other berry crops including native elderberries, blueberries and alpine strawberries from which we make value added products such as Black Currant Cordial (alcohol free) Rhubarb Rush and Elderflower Power. We sometimes need to supplement our own produce with produce from other western Massachusetts farms, particularly rhubarb, which is USDA certified organic. Bug Hill Farm is Certified Naturally Grown; we use no chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides in our high tunnel greenhouses, fields or raised beds. Our value added products are processed and bottled according to ServSafe standards at Katalyst Kombucha, our co-packer, located at the Franklin County Community Development Corporations commercial kitchen and bottling plant in Greenfield, MA. Our customers include Whole Foods, Table and Vine, all area cooperatives, such as Green Field Market and River Valley Market (Greenfield and Northampton respectively) many specialty and health food stores such as Guido's Fresh Marketplace in the Berkshires, and a few restaurants such as Bistro Le Gras in Northampton.

We keep our own honeybees, purchasing additional honey from local apiaries such as Round Hill Orchard in Holyoke, MA for our value added products. We manage our 50 acres of fields and forests ecologically and particularly for native wildlife and plant communities. Kate Kerivan, owner/grower, has an MA in Ecological Landscape Design from Conway School of Landscape Design, Conway, MA, and an MS in Conservation Biology (Environmental Studies Department) from Antioch University. Her undergraduate degree from the University of New Hampshire is in Plant Science.
