We are a small family farm located in the beautiful Pioneer Valley in Western Massachusetts.
At Wells Tavern Farm, we believe in the value of heritage; most of the breeds of animals we raise are of the old-time genetics. Some things are just too good to need to be improved upon. These heritage breeds need conservation and careful management. We believe in grass feeding and rotating our pastured beef. The other farm animals frolic in the outside in natural settings, and are supplemented with New England produced, all-vegetarian, additive and byproduct free grain. The corn that we feed comes from Northfield, Massachusetts, which is about a fifteen minute drive from us.
What do we raise? We are especially fond of our heritage breed pigs: Tamworths, Large Black, Red Wattle and Berkshires.
We are raising a flock of colored Romney and white Border Leicester sheep, Belted Galloway Beef, Jersey cows, Pilgrim Geese, meat chickens and Angora goats!
What is a farm without chickens? Our favorite breeds currently are the White Rock and Buff Orpingtons.
Most of the animals on our farm have been hatched or born here, and raised with love and attention provided daily from our family. We invite you to share in the bounty from our farm!
