The Secret History of Tobacco in Southwick, Massachusetts 🌿🚜

The Secret History of Tobacco in Southwick, Massachusetts 🌿🚜 Western MA

Most people are surprised to learn that tobacco has been grown in Southwick, Massachusetts for centuries—and not just any tobacco, but broadleaf tobacco, the kind used for premium cigar wrappers. 🍂💨

In my latest video, I delve deeper into this fascinating piece of Western Massachusetts history, sharing stories that go beyond what you might expect from a short social media reel. I even talk about my personal experiences working in the tobacco fields as a young teen. Growing up, I got a firsthand look at the hard work, the heat, and the unique rhythms of life during tobacco season. 😅☀️

Tobacco farming in Southwick has been alive and well since the 1600s, surviving centuries of change while remaining a staple of the local agricultural landscape. From the planting in spring to the harvest in late summer, it’s a tradition that connects generations of families—and gives us a glimpse into life in this part of Western Mass. 🏡💛

In the video, I share:

  • The history of broadleaf tobacco in Southwick and why it’s so valued for cigars
  • My childhood experiences working in the fields and what it taught me about work, community, and resilience
  • How this long-standing agricultural tradition shapes the character of Western Massachusetts today

Whether you grew up here, are curious about local history, or just love learning unusual facts about small-town America, this story has something for you.

Is Inventory REALLY Back? Not So Fast—Western MA and NW CT Tell a Different Story

Is Inventory REALLY Back? Not So Fast—Western MA and NW CT Tell a Different Story

Hi friends! 👋 Lesley Lambert here, REALTOR® with Park Square Realty, your friendly neighborhood real estate expert proudly serving Western Massachusetts for over 30 years.

You may have heard the national news buzzing lately with headlines like “Housing Inventory Is Back!” or “The Market Is Cooling Down!” But here’s the truth: real estate is local. What’s happening in Phoenix or Miami doesn’t necessarily reflect what we’re experiencing right here in our beautiful slice of the Pioneer Valley.

And let me tell you—Western Massachusetts is NOT seeing a flood of homes hit the market.

In fact, I’m still working with plenty of motivated buyers who are eagerly waiting for the right home to come along. We’re not out of the low-inventory woods just yet here. If you’re a homeowner in Southwick, Westfield, or anywhere in the greater Western MA/ NW CT area, this could be an incredible opportunity for you.

💡 Thinking about selling?
Even if you’re just curious, you might be surprised at how much equity you’ve built in your home. Many homeowners have more value than they realize, and that equity could help you take the next step in your life journey, whether that’s upgrading, downsizing, or relocating.

✨ And don’t just take my word for it—look what Realtor.com has to say! In their May 2025 Hottest Markets Report, they make it clear that inventory trends vary dramatically by location. Realtor.com says, “These are the 10 hottest U.S. housing markets for May 2025! Springfield, MA, takes the #1 spot this month, followed by Amherst Town-Northampton, MA, showing just how hot the New England market is right now.” Some markets are seeing increases, but many, especially in smaller and mid-size regions like ours, are still tight. That means less competition for you as a seller and a greater chance to stand out.

🌼 Western Mass and NW CT are truly special—gorgeous seasons, tight-knit communities, and charming neighborhoods full of history and heart. It’s no wonder buyers are still looking to plant roots here. If you’ve been wondering if now’s the right time to sell, I’d love to help you explore your options.

📊 Let’s talk about your home’s value.
I offer a free, no-obligation market evaluation of your property, tailored specifically to your home and our current local market. No pressure—just information to empower you to make the best decision.

👉 Reach out to me today to schedule your complimentary evaluation! Licensed in both Massachusetts and Connecticut.
