Welcome to March!
As I sit and type this, the sun is out, the fresh snow on the ground is sparkly and it is 6 BELOW zero! Just a little reminder that winter hasn't left yet. Although, we are expecting a bit of a warm up beginning on Sunday. Should be good for maple sugarin'!
Our cows continue to grace us with little calves. We are expecting 2 more. It's fun to see how quickly they adapt to their new surroundings. I've included a picture below for your viewing pleasure.
Remember we have an online store for our delicious wood fired Vermont maple syrup. You can order from the comfort of your home, 24/7. Our maple almonds and maple cream can also be purchased from our website.
St. Patrick's Day is approaching, and we've got a great selection of briskets for your meal! Have you ever corned your own brisket? It's easy and so much tastier than store bought. But it does require time for the brisket to 'soak', so plan your shopping accordingly.
Soup weather is still here. Try some of our smoked hocks, smoked ham ends, or beef shank soup bones for your next soup meal.
MILK! Not only does it do a body good, but we've got it in our farm stand just waiting for you. I'm thinking some home made hot chocolate might be good for the weekend!
Our croissant baker is taking the weekend off, so that means no pastries tomorrow. We will have fresh bread tho and our shelves, fridge, coolers and freezers will be full of everything else you're going to need.
We look forward to seeing you this weekend. Our farm stand is located at 1966 Healdville Road in Mount Holly. We are open Tuesdays through Sundays from 12:00 - 5:00. Closed on Mondays!
You'll find a little bit of everything when you step inside our farm stand. Mustards, honey, salsa, pizza, cheese, milk, meats, maple, coffee, bread, gifts and so much more. Our farm stand is heated for your shopping pleasure and is open 12:00 - 5:00 every day except for Mondays. We accept cash, checks and credit cards. We look forward to seeing you this weekend!
Rotary and United Church Sponsor Dinner for Ukrainian Relief, March 19
The Ludlow Rotary Club and the United Church of Ludlow are combining efforts to raise money for humanitarian relief of the besieged people of the Ukraine on Saturday, March 19 at the United Church, located at the corner of Elm and Pleasant Streets.
According to George Thomson, they plan to serve a lasagna dinner. The cost will be $15 per person – or whatever generous donation the diner wishes to make. "This is sort of an 'Eat so others can eat' affair to help the struggling people in the Ukraine", noted Thomson.
The lasagna will come in several sorts of variety to satisfy the palates of everyone. This will include meat-filled, vegetarian, and gluten free lasagna dishes. Complementing the main course will be salads, breads, and desserts. Take-out meals may be picked up at the church between 5 and 5:30pm while in-church dining will be available from 5:30 to 7.
Pre-orders for take-out meals can be made by call 802-228-6275 or emailing Thomson131VT@gmail.com.
General donations are also appreciated. They may be made at the Ludlow Rotary Club's website, https://portal.clubrunner.ca/2939, or mailed to Ludlow Rotary, PO Box 216, Ludlow, VT 05149. Such donations are tax-deductible.
Thomson added that "We genuinely hope we can support the desperate needs of the folks in the Ukraine who are hungry and suffering the personal and family deprivations resulting from this terrible invasion. So let's eat so others can eat!"
