Meg and Laura founded Full Well Farm located in Adams, MA in 2018. Meg was brought up on the farmland they are now farming on. When chatting with Meg about their background, there seemed to be an initial resistance to farming and becoming a farmer. However, the pull to being outside every March was too hard to resist. And the pull to developing a business that provided access to healthy food was also too much to resist. Hence, although there were some twists and turns along the journey, the evolution of Full Well Farm was inevitable. And I am certainly grateful for that and am sure the local northern Berkshire community is as well.
Meg and Laura have grown a farm with a focus on CSA, or community supported agriculture with both vegetables and flowers. Full Well Farm is also supporting several food access organizations that have figured out ways to fund their farmers while feeding the community.
To quote Meg and Laura about their farm: “Community drives everything we do at Full Well Farm. Our business model is rooted in social justice and the belief that everybody has the right to high quality produce. As a LGBTQIA+ and women owned farm, we strive to create a safe space in our community for all identities.”
This is a very important time to listen to our farmers, figure out how you can help support their sustenance and growth, and take the necessary action to do just that. When it comes to Full Well Farm, check out their CSA options and sign up today!
Enjoy my conversation with Meg, one of the founders and farmers from Full Well Farm.
