"My wife and I have been using Bear Path Farm compost for about 10 years. From the outset, we have appreciated the lack of weed seeds and the fertility of this compost. It has been the principle resource that has transformed our garden soil from impenetrable clay to fluffy black soil with greatly improved texture, fertility, drainage and water holding capacity. We have also seen major differences in the health, and disease and pest resistance of our flowers, vegetables and fruit trees." ~Jody Nishman, Haydenville, MA |
"We use Bear Path Farm compost for soil amending and top dressing. Our clients rave about the boost that it gives their perennials, citing increased size and overall improved plant health. Bill provides excellent customer service with deliveries arriving sometimes hours after the order has been called in. No Gardenform job is complete without Bear Path Farm compost." -James Barrett & Susanna Jewell of Gardenform Landscape Design & Construction |

"Compost is the black gold of gardening and Bear Path Farm makes the best. Not only does it look good, smell good and is beneficial to plants, it probably tastes good too. It comes with a nutrient analysis so you know what went into to it and what your plants will get from it. ~Liz Toffey, Conway, MA |
“We use Bear Path Farm’s excellent compost for just about everything— soil amendment, top-dressing, and potting soil enrichment. It’s what gardeners call “black gold”— rich, crumbly, and weed-free. Spreading it around the garden is the single most important thing we do for our plants.” ~ Ruah Donnelly, Conway, MA Author of The Adventurous Gardener – Where to buy the best plants in New England |
The one component that is in ALL of my landscape design / installations is Bear Path Farm compost. Having designed and installed landscapes for over 15 years, I have come to see clearly how the relationship between plant growth, vigor, and insect / disease resistance is related to having the proper soil for growing plants. I have found Bear Path Farm’s compost to always be weed free and chock-full of nutrients. My clients are always thrilled when they see their new gardens (perennial, vegetable, herb, etc...) growing at a speed and with vigor that exceeds their expectations. Whether I am looking for compost as a soil amendment or mulch I have always found Bill's to meet or exceed my lofty requirements.
Bear Path Farm compost plays an important role in our commitment to grow good soil. We have been growing peonies and other cut flowers commercially for the past fifteen years. BPF compost is part of our recipe for success. We use it as a soil additive and as an excellent top dressing. It is consistently weed free and the soil analysis helps us build a balanced fertilizing program.
“Gardening season officially begins for me when the Bear Path Farm
truck backs into my driveway with a heaping load of the world’s
finest compost. Bill’s friendly enthusiasm enriches me, and the compost
enriches my dry, sandy soil. It doubles as a mulch, keeping the
moisture in and the weeds out. The rich brown mulch, like a fresh coat
of paint, makes the beds look fresh and lovely, ready for the growing
season.”
