ABOUT RIQUEZAS DEL CAMPO

Riquezas Del Campo is a immigrant-led, worker-owned farm co-op in Hatfield, MA. We use environmentally friendly methods, and are working towards becoming organically certified. Riquezas is the first cooperative incubated by the Pioneer Valley Workers Center, in line with PVWC's mission to build institutions that directly represent the interests of working people. Riquezas del Campo was founded in May 2019 by a group of PVWC members with decades of experience working as farmers throughout Central America and New England.  

​

We currently have 4 worker-owners (socios). They are responsible for all aspects of the farm's work and include a field manager, sales manager, farmers market manager, treasurer and secretary. They make all the major decisions about what crops to grow, a sales plan, and how to sustainably steward the land. The farm sells wholesale to River Valley Co-op, mobile markets in Springfield and Northampton that bring fresh produce into low-income neighborhoods, and local mutual aid food distribution programs. We also sell to individual consumers at farmers markets where we feature traditional ingredients from a variety of cultures like cilantro, tomatillos, collard greens and a wide variety of peppers. We accept SNAP/HIP as part of our mission to make healthy food accessible to all.
