Farm Happenings at Warner Farm
CSA WEEK 13
If you've ever missed one of your CSA share pick-ups, you've probably wondered where all that food ends up. In light of the topics of food waste and food access, we try to redistribute the resources that come back to us as much as we can. Each week, the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts stops by t1 read more »
CSA WEEK 12
As farmers and farm workers, we think about food – a lot. When to plant a crop, when to tend to it, when to harvest, how to pack it, where it’s going, how much people are willing to pay for it, how much ends up going to the farm, what to plant the next season… the list of questio1 read more »
CSA WEEK 11
As you may have noticed, this season is proving to be a bit different than last year. While some crops have been thriving, the weather has certainly put a damper on the overall abundance of the summer. We received over a foot of rainfall during the month of July alone, which has affected everything1 read more »
CSA WEEK 10

Whether it’s pouring rain or the sun is beating down on the most humid summer days, our field cre1 read more »
CSA WEEK 9

CSA WEEK 8
Amidst the drizzly gloom these days, we're finding it important to focus on the bright sides of what's happening around us on the farm. Recently, it's the peaches that are just starting to ripen! Our peach groves currently span three acres and contain roughly 700 trees. Some of these trees are just1 read more »
CSA WEEK 7
What a dreadful drought we’re having… said no farmer in the Northeast right now. While the recent downpours have certainly put a damper on our growing season, we’re far from the only farm being affected by this unfortunate turn that the weather has taken. Shifting climate pattern1 read more »
CSA WEEK 6
The moment we’ve all been waiting for is here – it’s corn season! Whether it’s for maize that makes its way into locally-made Mi Tierra tortillas, our world-famous corn maze, or just munching off the cob, we find ways to celebrate every variety of corn that we grow here1 read more »
CSA WEEK 5
Goodbye strawberries, hello… corn? Never would we have guessed that our corn fields would be (almost) ready to harvest before the end of strawberry season. This is truly an unprecedented occurrence, and while sweet corn is one of our all-time favorite crops, it’s hard to say that we ar1 read more »
About the farm
Warner Farm is proud to be one of the oldest and longest-running family farms in New England. Ten generations of Warners have farmed here in Sunderland since the 1720s. Father and son, Mike and David Wissemann continue that legacy by sustainably growing a wide range of crops on 150 acres of fertile Connecticut River valley soil. We offer CSA shares and wholesale produce throughout Massachusetts. You can find our produce at local farmers markets, or come by our farm in June to visit our Pick-Your-Own strawberry fields. We are also the home of Mike’s Maze, an award winning, eight-acre corn maze that attracts over 8,000 visitors to the farm each fall.
