Happy Friday, friends — let the weekend begin!

What a week of wild Vermont weather! We went from sweating through nearly 90-degree temps on Monday to waking up this morning to a brisk 33 degrees. Mother Nature clearly didn't get the memo. The cattle, though? They went out on pasture this week. They are absolutely living their best lives, soaking up that gorgeous green grass.

The farm stand is open and ready for you this weekend! Think of us as your one-stop shop from sunrise to sunset — we've got breakfast covered (eggs, coffee beans, English muffins), lunch sorted (pizza, salad greens, yogurt, granola), and dinner handled (steaks, sausage, roasts). Come hungry.

Our maple shelves are fully stocked — all sizes, for every maple lover in your life. And can we just say... maple cream might be the greatest thing on earth. It's pure maple syrup that's heated, cooled, and stirred into the most dreamy, spreadable form. Toast? Muffins? A spoon straight from the jar? We fully support all of the above — zero judgment here.

Saturday brings baked goods! Freshly baked bread plus all the wonderful treats from Stevens Farm. Worth making a trip just for that.

Looking for a little something to bring to a gathering? We've got beautiful beeswax candles and soaps, plus a handful of ready-to-go gift boxes for when you need something special without the scramble.

Big news starting next week: summer hours are here! The farm stand will be open Wednesday through Sunday, 12–5. More days, more maple, more reasons to stop by.

We'd love to see you this weekend. Come say hi!

The Mount Holly Community Historical Museum welcomes summer with the opening of our Museums on Saturday and Sunday, May 23rd and 24th from 2:00 PM-4:00PM. New exhibits offer new experiences.

This summer we will be joining the Mount Holly Community at large in celebrating the 250th Anniversary of our Country. Close behind, another celebration comes next year with the establishment of the Vermont Republic in 1777. It is a time of remembering who we were and who we are today.

Please plan to make a visit to the Perkins House Museum on the Belmont Village Green and a second stop for a different presentation at the Will White Blacksmith Shop, a short walk down Tarbellville Road.

The Museum will be open June, July and August.

Private visits can be arranged by calling or emailing:

Steve Michel: 802 259 2049

email—stevem671@aol.com

Dennis Devereux: 802 259 2460

email—ddevereux@Vermontel.net

Be on the alert for significant announcements and dates from the Museum during the next month. Dennis Devereux will be offering various hiking tours, including a walk on June 13th walking the historic Crown Point Road built in 1759-60 by the British Army during the French and Indian War.

The Museum will also be announcing important updates on the restoration of the Blacksmith Shop.

We are looking forward to a wonderful Mount Holly Summer and wish the same to each of you
