About Mount Grace
Mount Grace works with landowners and the
community to protect farms, fields, and forests
in 23 western and central Massachusetts
towns for the benefit of the environment, the
economy, and future generations.
About Red Fire Farm
Red Fire Farm is a certified organic farm owned
and managed by Ryan and Sarah Voiland.
The farm feeds the community in all four
seasons through farmstands in Granby and
Montague, farmers markets, local wholesale,
and a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
program with over 1,500 members.
Campaign for Affordable Farms
Secure, affordable access to land is the greatest
challenge facing entering farmers today. Mount
Grace’s Campaign for Affordable Farms seeks
to create permanently affordable whole farms
through an innovative model of joint ownership
in which farmland is held as a community
resource in perpetuity, helping ensure access to
fresh food.
