This month we’re highlighting local farms from across the Northeast. Based in Hadley, Massachusetts, we’re proud to partner with Plainville Farm.
Plainville Farm is a third generation family farm in Hadley, MA that specializes in asparagus, cucumbers, beets, greens, eggplant, and their famous butternut squash. Farmer Wally is an expert in hard squashes. In fact, he has been working to expand the popularity of his bora bora squash. A squash he claims is a better alternative to the highly popular butternut squash due to its increased flavor.
In addition to being a local farm, Plainville also serves as one of our Food Hub locations. This means other farmers deliver their produce to Plainville and we send an empty Price Chopper truck returning from store deliveries to load up with produce. This helps local, small-scale producers have a chance to have their product reach more consumers.

lēf Farms is a new grower this year, dedicated to serving up fresh and delicious greens at their absolute best. They specialize in greenhouse-grown hydroponic salad greens. In a hydroponic growing system, plants grow in an aquatic based environment. Instead of using soil to grow the plants, mineral nutrient solutions are used to feed the plants water, without soil.
The hydroponic growing of plants brings many advantages. Through this method there is increased sustainability, more consciousness of food safety techniques, and the ability to consistently grow a high quality product all year round in the Northeast. Through hydroponic growth, plants receive the perfect amount of nutrients at the perfect time, and arrive on your plate at the peak of freshness.

We spent the day hanging out with Farmer Larry Eckhardt and the Kinderhook Creek Farm family to chat with our Facebook followers about sweet corn and all things produce! With Larry’s help, we were able to answer many of your questions. Below are some of the most popular questions & answers from Larry himself!
What’s the best way to store tomatoes and cucumbers so they last longer?
LE: Tomatoes should be kept in a cool, dry environment, but not the refrigerator. Cucumbers, on the other hand, need the cool, crisp drawer in your refrigerator.
When will the local corn be ready?
LE: We’ve started to harvest, but next week should start to pick up. You should see more local corn arriving in stores around July 22.
How do you pick the best watermelon?
LE: We pick our watermelon by looking at the tail (curly vine). The tail has to be drying or turning brown. If you think of a leaf, it starts to fall off the tree when it has dried up, that means it is ripe. It is the same for watermelons. If it comes off the vine very easy, it is ripe and ready for harvest.
How many different vegetables do you grow?
LE: We grow pumpkins, sweet corn, hard squash, and summer squash for Price Chopper, but we also grow other produce for our roadside market.
What is the best way to cook corn on the cob?
LE: My favorite way is to husk the corn, boil the water, add the corn (not all has to be submerged), return to a boil and just a few minutes longer. You can easily over cook corn!
What is the best way to keep lettuce fresher longer once you buy it?
LE: I keep it in an air-tight bag and remove all the air.
With all this rain are the summer veggies going to make it ok?
LE: Yes, they are. It’s just they will be ready later than expected.
What is the correct way to freeze corn on the cob?
LE: Husk the corn, put it in boiling water and blanch it for 3 minutes or less, then cut it off the cob and freeze it. We freeze it in plastic bags, in the quantity we plan to use it later.
