About Sylvester’s

Sylvester’s belongs to CISA, Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture. we actively promote and purchase local foods and products as much as possible while keeping our prices reasonable. During 2009, we purchased the following products from local farms:

In season fruits and produce from Red Fire Farms in Granby.

Apples and apple cider from Bashista’s Orchards in Southampton.
Dairy products from Mapleline Farm in North Hadley.
Yogurt from Sidehill Farm in Ashfield.
Maple syrup from Snowshoe Farm in Worthington.
Some of our hamburger for specials is from Chicoine Farm in Easthampton.

During 2010, we expect to transition to more of our purchases to support a more local economy. We began to purchase all of our eggs, about 250 dozen a week, from The Country Hen, an egg farm from Hubbardston MA. that feeds their chickens a strictly organic diet in a cage-free environment

Sylvester’s belongs to Pioneer Valley Local First, a local organization dedicated to promoting a buy local first initiative.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

We’re proud to be working with Alternative Recycling Systems to begin composting much of our food and paper waste. All of our cardboard is recycled and all of our plastics, cans and bottles are recycled thereby reducing our waste going to the landfill.
