Why hello Friday, we're happy to see you! Are you ready for the weekend? OPEN FARM DAY: CANCELED A quick but important update: we're canceling Open Farm Day this Saturday (August 8th) due to the threat of thunderstorms. Mother Nature can throw some heavy weather our way, and with pizza, tours, and folks gathering around the farm, we'd rather play it safe than take a chance. The good news? Our farm stand will be open as usual, rain or shine! WHAT'S IN THE STAND THIS WEEKEND Our local producers are hitting their stride, and the stand is bursting with it. Corn (arrives Saturday), plus tomatoes, onions, garlic, cukes, squash, and lettuce — this is peak summer eating right here. Fresh chicken is in. Our pasture-raised birds are so good, you'll want to grab one for tonight's dinner and stash one in the freezer for later. Beef brisket is ready and waiting. Fire up that smoker or grill — you know what to do. We've also got fresh-baked bread (baguettes, cinnamon raisin, multi-grain) plus sweet treats from Stevens Farm. And today only — the grandkids are back with their hand-squeezed lemonade! School's creeping up fast, so get some while summer is still is session. Thanks for keeping their lemonade empire going — they light up every time someone stops by. Come see us at the farm stand this weekend — we're open 12:00–5:00 through Sunday. |

Please spread the word....Shrewsbury's own Jon Lorentz is returning to the neighborhood with his jazz quartet!6 pm August 7 at the Shrewsbury Meetinghouse, 88 Lottery RdFood begins at 5:30 from the Wellness Cafe of Rutland.Cash, check or Venmo at the door. ANY amount appreciated. All $ goes to support the musicians and the historic Meetinghouse. We move indoors if it is rainy. For more info, follow this FB page or email singtolive57@gmail.com, text 802-558-2708 Here's more on Jonathan Lorentz:This will be the Shrewsbury-raised saxophonist's first performance in the area in over 10 years. Tenor saxophonist Jonathan "Lockjaw" Lorentz leads a powerhouse quartet that includes Tom Robinson (piano), Brendan "Low End" Dowd (upright bass) and Tim Gilmore (drums). Their set is high energy, blues-infused, and full of improvisation.Raised in Shrewsbury, Jonathan spent his early years playing with his hometown Muddy Rhodes Blues Band, while learning jazz from Rutland area educators Glenn Giles and Bear Irwin. Lorentz later moved to NYC, where he studied with Lenny Pickett, Frank Foster and George Garzone, and played venues ranging from Smalls to CBGB'S, Radio City, the Bitter End, and the Blue Note. He earned international radio play and acclaim for his album Borderlands (Métier Jazz), for which Fanfare magazine stated "Lorentz has really got it: a great style, an explorative mind, and a concept that goes beyond the usual fare you hear from jazz groups." Lorentz says that he's "On top of the world excited to return home to play. Vermont is such a fantastic place, maybe even a state-of-mind. I have so many great memories of music and musicians there, and getting to know the community. I'm still inspired by experiences like hearing Tito Puente at Discover Jazz, Dave Brubeck in Rutland, the Basie Band outside at Pico, trumpeter Dave Ellis at Killington, and catching Billy Comstock (Sr), Ace Leonard, and Pete Giancola around town. I even heard the JGB at a wedding up north! I'm honored to have been a small part of the scene over the years, playing Radio Bean, sitting-in with Sandra Wright, late nights in Burlington, Mojazz in Wilmington, Pink's in Manchester, 51 in Middlebury, playing on the Killington Access Road with Joey Leone, or Center Street Alley with Steve Audsley. One of my most memorable gigs was indoors at the Shrewsbury Library with Muddy Rhodes (Tom "Bout Right" Mitchell, Dirk "Blind Boy" Thomas, Paul "Thudd" Sgalia, and Mark "Catfish" Hamilton). It was hot, and the bookshelves must have been pushed to the sides of the room, because people were dancing!" |

FRESH Chicken!Yes, it's fresh chicken time again — and what a season it's been! We hope you've had the chance to swing by the farm stand and grab one for yourself. If not, now's your moment. Perfect for roasting, grilling, the slow cooker, or the smoker — however you cook it, it's delicious. And don't forget our weekly unbagged special! Wednesday & Thursday, 12–5 PM. Bring your own bag, bowl, cooler, or container, and you'll not only bring home a fresh chicken — you'll save $0.50/lb while you're at it.

Bagged chickens are available all week at the farm stand.
