It's Friday — and the sun is coming

Hello there! We've had some much-needed rain and chilly weather here at the farm this week, but the forecast is turning. Starting tomorrow, warmer temps and sunny skies are on the way — a great excuse to get outside and come see us.

What's happening on the farm

Our second batch of meat birds arrived this week and is settling in nicely. The laying hens are out and about scratching for bugs and fresh grass, and eggs are plentiful — stop by and grab a dozen or two! The pastures are growing fast, and the cattle will be heading out of the big red barn very soon.

Skip the garden center markup and stop paying $10.00/bale — we've got mulch hay bales are available right here at the farm for $5.00/bale. Great for all your landscaping and gardening needs this season.

At the farm stand this weekend

Freshly baked bread and homemade goodies will be on hand Saturday — these sell out fast, so shop early if you want to score some!

Our Wilcox ice cream selection is full. Many flavors to choose from — grab a pint (or two) for the weekend.

Wonder what's for dinner? Our top sellers this week have been ground beef (think burgers, chili, or meatloaf), hot Italian sausage (pasta night or pizza topping), and london broil (marinade and grill). Something for everyone.

You'll also find the fridge stocked with yogurt, apple cider, butter, cheese, salad greens, and spinach. So much deliciousness all in one spot!

We're open Saturday and Sunday, 12:00–5:00 and can't wait to see you. Stop in and say hi! 1966 Healdville Road, Mount Holly, VT
