What is Plew Farm?!
Plew Farm is a diversified farm located in the beautiful Vermont town of Mount Holly. We began our farming adventure in 2011.
We raise a variety of animals here at our farm including chicken (both for meat and eggs), pigs, cattle and turkeys. We retail our meat and eggs in our on-site farm store.
We also make hay throughout the summer, which is used for our own cattle's needs and also for resale here at our farm.
Our 150 acre farm also includes a 12 acre sugar bush, which we use in the spring to produce some of the best tasting wood fired Vermont maple syrup around! Our syrup is sold at our farm stand and also available on our website!
Our farm stand continues to provide our community with some amazing locally grown and produced goodies. In addition to our own meat, maple and eggs, you'll find other products like pizza, cheese, honey, mustards, veggies, coffee beans, canvas prints and so much more.
We thank you for following along our farm journey and invite you to stop on by our farm stand if you're out and about! We are open Tuesdays through Sundays from 12:00-5:00pm and would love to see you!
We will be offering homemade pies for Thanksgiving, apple and pumpkin. Orders are encouraged, so let us know sooner rather than later if you'd like one! Send your order to this email!
Our pastry baker is taking this week off, so no pastries or croissants until next week!!
Please be cautious and drive accordingly when driving in and out of our driveway. Be on the lookout for farm equipment, dogs, other customers, and grandchildren!
Your farm crew! These three grandkids provide us with so much joy! And they love helping out at the farm! Gathering eggs, forking hay, working the farm stand, hitching up wagons, building fences and on and on!

Ludlow Rotary Donates to Mountainside And Hears State of the Town Address
The recent luncheon meeting of the Ludlow Rotary Club (LRC) featured two special events: 1 – Ludlow's Municipal Manager's 'State of the Town' and 2 – the LRC donation to Mountainside, part of the Windsor County Youth Services.
In keeping with its tradition of making awards to local community organizations that provide necessary and important services, the LRC presented a $2,000 check to Mountainside, located on Mill Street in Ludlow. Accepting the award was Jacqueline Hanlon, Director of the youth shelter. The award recognized the important contribution Mountainside makes in supporting and assisting young people from troubled home situations. Half of this amount was contributed by LRC members, the other half by the district headquarters.
Scott Murphy, Ludlow's Municipal Manager, presented a detailed outline of recent town activities and projects plus some plans for the future.
Among the subjects Murphy covered were:
· The recent High Street water line replacement and run-off controls · The Vail Bridge over Jewell Brook will be replaced starting next summer · A burst waterline in front of The Timber Inn saw a loss of 360,000 gallons of water where to pipes involved were relatively new · No progress as of yet on the rental registration proposals · A local option tax planned may be discussed in the near future · The proposed local charter to permit the select board to determine whether elections are done by Australian ballot or town meeting is in progress
