Happy Maple Monday!

There's a chill in the Vermont air, the leaves are started to turn, and that means one thing: it's officially stew season. There's nothing quite like coming in from a long work day to a pot simmering away on the stove, filling the whole house with the smell of apples, thyme, and maple.

This week we're sharing one of our new fall favorites: Maple Bourbon Chicken & Apple Stew. It starts with seared chicken thighs and a splash of bourbon to deglaze the pan, then builds into a rich, maple-sweetened broth loaded with carrots, celery, baby potatoes, and crisp apples. A slow simmer brings it all together, and a little cornstarch slurry at the end thickens it into something hearty enough to be dinner on its own — though we won't stop you from serving it with a hunk of crusty bread to mop up the broth.

And don't forget to visit our website to shop for all things maple! Maple syrup, sugar, maple almonds, maple cream and candy! Open 24/7. You shop, we ship. It's that simple.

As always, thank you for supporting our family farm. We love sharing our table with yours.

Friends of the Ludlow Auditorium Seeks New Board Members to Help Bring Events to the Community

LUDLOW, VT — September 13, 2026 — The Friends of the Ludlow Auditorium (FOLA) is inviting community members to consider joining its Board of Directors and helping shape the future of entertainment, cultural programming, and community events at the Heald Auditorium in Ludlow Town Hall.

Since its founding in 2009, FOLA has worked to make the Ludlow Auditorium a vibrant gathering place for residents, visitors, and organizations throughout the Okemo Valley. The organization's mission is to promote and facilitate the use of the auditorium for the benefit of the community.

Over the years, FOLA has sponsored and supported a wide variety of programs, including: movies and film series, live music, theatrical presentations, the FOLA Follies, community Christmas celebrations, Community forums and civic events and programs for young people.

For example, this coming October FOLA will present a candidate forum featuring local candidates for November's election, a live jazz program, and classical music from a woodwind quartet from the Vermont Symphony Orchestra.

FOLA has also invested in the auditorium itself, helping fund improvements to the facility's seating, projection, audio and electronic systems, backstage facilities and other technical equipment. These improvements have helped make the auditorium a more useful venue for the entire community.

FOLA is looking for people who are interested in the arts, entertainment, community events and the future of Ludlow. Board members can contribute in many different ways — from helping select and develop programs, to advertising and publicity, fundraising, event planning and operations, technical support, community outreach and building partnerships with local organizations.

Anyone interested in learning more about serving on the FOLA Board is encouraged to contact FOLA at info@fola.us or 802-228-3238.
