Meet Your Farmers!
Thank you for following along our farm journey and for your continued readership! For those of you who are new to our weekly emails, we'd like to take a minute to tell you about us! Plew Farm was established in 2011 and is owned and operated by husband and wife, Kevin & Patti Plew. We are a diversified farm located in Mount Holly, Vermont. Our 150 acre farm is home to our cattle, chickens, pigs, turkeys, hay fields and our sugar bush. We have lived in Mount Holly for the past 38 years and is where we raised our 5 boys (yes, 5 boys!). We are not only proud parents of said 5 boys, but also proud grandparents of 3 amazing little folks!
Kevin is retired from both the military and from US Bankruptcy Court and Patti spent over 27 years in the publishing industry.
Our days here at the farm are busy, but busy is a good thing! Hay keeps us busy during the summer months, and sugaring (maple syrup) keeps us hopping during the early spring. We depend alot on the weather and you'll find that we are constantly in tune with the daily/weekly forecast!
We both enjoy good old fashioned country music, with Johnny Cash being our favorite singer of all times! We enjoy a cold cider at the end of the work day, even if the end of the work day is close to midnight!
Our farm stand is a place where we can share our work/products with each of you. We are ever so grateful for the continued support that each of you has shown us...either by visiting our farm stand, sharing stories on our social media pages, stopping by to chat, or simply waving as you drive by. We enjoy what we do, and sharing with all of you is what makes it all worth while.
Don't forget we ship our award winning, wood fired pure Vermont maple syrup, maple almonds and maple cream! No need to go without . Visit our online store found on our website. www.plewfarm.com
We have FRESH chicken available this weekend for your grilling needs. And our pork and beef selection is full of tasty cuts (ribs, roasts, ground beef, sausage, steaks and more) Farm fresh eggs and our award winning Vermont wood fired maple syrup are waiting for YOU! Our farm partners provide us with so many goodies, like milk, yogurt, pizza, honey, produce, cider and so much more. Our farm stand is located at 1966 Healdville Road in Mount Holly. We will be open all weekend from 12:00 - 6:00 and will be waiting for you!
