It's Finally Friday — And the Farm is Ready for You

Spring has officially arrived at Plew Farm, and things are moving. Our first batch of meat birds arrived last week, the pastures are greening up fast, and our beef cattle are just about ready to trade their barn for open fields. In the meantime, our laying hens are living their best lives in the sunshine — and turning it into the most gorgeous, golden-yolked eggs you've ever cracked.

The farm stand is open, stocked, and waiting. Let's talk about what's in store this weekend.

Mother's Day is Sunday — Make it Special

You've still got time. Here's your game plan:

Start with a stunning mixed flower bouquet from Blume VT — honestly, they're breathtaking. Then swing by for a bag of our pancake mix + a bottle of our maple syrup and treat her to breakfast in bed. (Don't forget the Abracadabra Coffee beans. She deserves a real cup of coffee with that stack.)

Round it out with handmade soaps, local honey, fancy mustard, and delicious jams — the kind of thoughtful extras that say I actually put thought into this.

Baked Goods Alert — Shop Early or Miss Out

Stevens Farm baked goods are back on Saturday, and we cannot stress this enough: they sell out. Every time. Get there early.

Also back this Saturday: fresh-baked bread — farmhouse white, multi-grain, and cinnamon raisin. Something for every table.

Dinner, Sorted

A great selection of beef and pork is in the stand this weekend. Whether you're grilling for Mom or just treating yourself, we've got you covered.
