Andrea Dustin began Straw Hat Farm in 2022, born out of a love for home gardening and a passion for food access. Andrea was previously employed by Grow Food Northampton as an assistant to the Community Food Distribution Project and currently works at Smith College’s Jandon Center for Community Engagement.
The plan for this first year is to have a farm stand right in Andrea’s front yard on Nonotuck Street. In the next year or two, they aim to establish a small CSA with a hyper-local focus.
