I love this place!! It's a hidden gem! It's the perfect place to get local, organic produce, meat, and other natural foods (mostly whole foods but some interesting packaged food too!) It has a sort of co-op feeling/culture. They have plenty of information hanging up about the farm practices from their responsibly-sourced food! A lot of it from their own farm :) or you can ask any employee, they are all super kind and helpful ❤️

Simple Gifts farm and store has, to my surprise, almost as much produce and local goods stocked as a regular grocery store. Potentially soon (March 2023) to be under a new name, as it is undergoing being purchased by a new owner, Simple Gifts store offers a very wide variety of local and organic foods and produce - with a note of heavy on the produce portion, as most of it is grown on site. They also have a section of organic locally sourced frozen meats; locally produced and refrigerated beverages; locally made baskets; and several shelves of other goods specific to the pioneer valley. Since first visiting 2 years ago for a strawberry festival and stopping by a solely produce CSA share distribution room, it has expanded to a full line store. Excellent job by current store manager Tammy Ketcham for getting Simple Gifts store/market off the ground and operational, and for accepting local merchants into the fold. They also accept EBT cards. A+++!!!

Great place for daily/year round local organic produce. If you have SNAP, this is one of few retailers where you can use your HIP benefits to purchase gorgeous fruits and veggies!

I’m sad to hear that this store is closing. Unfortunately I discovered them too late, wish I had found them sooner. Great produce and really friendly and helpful staff!

Nice people, beautiful produce and lots of other items at the store. The CSA share is a good deal--more than enough veggies for the cost and pick your own herbs, flowers, and fruits and vegetables. . Simple Gifts is a valuable member of the community, and has been for over 17 years.

Amazing what magic these farmers make from the earth. Keep it up! Edit: these guys have built a little market at the front of the farm which is carrying all local headstash produce Meats Dairy and locally made products. You need to go check this out! I believe they're open till 7 p.m. daily.

We have been CSA members at Simple Gifts from the start. This is an amazing community and an amazing source of nutritious, delicious food. The farmers and the store staff are wonderful.

I shop at the Simple Gifts Farm store regularly. It is great to have a place here in Amherst where we can pick up eggs, meat, cheese, vegetables, chips, ice cream, chocolate, and so on. The prices are sometimes higher, but more than worthwhile for the time saved by shopping in our own town rather than having to drive to Hadley and back, not to mention for the quality, local and organic.

We are longtime fans of Simple Gifts Farm. It’s more than a farmstand, it’s a community resource - a place to go walking, to gather and play/listen to music, to swap recipes, and to learn about heirloom vegetables. Everyone there is kind and friendly. And the food is delicious! Greens all winter long from the hoop houses. We love the pick your own - best strawberries around!

Simple Gifts Farm is the best! Their farm store hours are so convenient, the produce and meats are delicious, and I love supporting all their sustainable gardening practices. It gives me joy to shop at Simple Gifts!

Outstanding farm store with a wide variety of super fresh organic produce as well as locally sourced packaged products. CSA shares are generous with many delicious options. PYO fields provide extra helpings of herbs, select produce and flowers. PYO Strawberry time is a special treat. Organic beef, pork, and poultry are always available as well as frozen entrees, soups. Fresh Kombucha and other healthy drinks are plentiful. Festivals, porch jams, and events for kids (recent pumpkin carving workshop) add to the pleasure of this hometown treasure.

Amazing farm store!! Great selection of local, fresh produce in all seasons. So many other great products. The staff are warm, friendly & helpful; but stay out of your way unless you need them(a big plus for socially anxious people like me). Honestly their store hours are a big help for my household too; not many local places stay open until 7pm.

Lots of high quality organic produce. Their eggs are the best I've ever had. As expected, prices can be higher than in grocery stores - but its hard to match this quality. If you are travelling through North Amherst, check it out.

I absolutely love this place! The selection is amazing, and the workers are always so kind. I come here instead of the grocery store. The prices are very reasonable, and the produce and other goods never disappoint.

Such a huge fan of this place. We've had a farm share here since 2009 and it's been consistently improving over that time. The produce at the farm stand is great and the prices reasonable, and the CSA is an amazingly good value.

Very nice new farm store. Highly recommend visiting the North Amherst store. They’re about a half mile from the UMass campus. They offer many organic locally-grown produce. Also, they have a nice selection of chocolates.

A wonderful CSA farm in North Amherst, with great organic veggies. Members collect a weekly share and have access to some pick-your-own stuff. Both members and non-members can buy the farm's eggs, meat, and extras of veggies. It's a real treat!

We went to pick tomatoes. I called twice before we went there. No one have ever told me that there are only few tomatoes ripened!!! And the quality was poor. We wento pick strawberries earlier. It's also not a very pleasant choice. I won't be there anymore.

Used to get produce from these guys when we lived in Mass., now we stop by every time we're back, love their new store, a lot more than just vegetables now. Good to have local products from local farmers in these covid days.

Great little place to pick up local produce and meats and now they even have a few non foody items of local craftsmanship! Love that they also participate in the healthy eating program that allows food stamp use for fruits and veggies!

Best place for watching the spring piglet races, picking fresh raspberries, walks, bird watching, veggies, local ice cream, sunsets and sunrises, harvesting fragrant lemon verbena for tea, communing with oxen and chickens...a good place for hobbits.
