🌿 ISO Flowers & Greenery for 6th Grade Graduation 🌿

I'm looking for community members who would be willing to share flowers and greenery from their gardens to help create bouquets and arbor decorations for the 6th Grade Graduation on Tuesday, June 16th.

I would be hoping to gather materials on June 13th and June 15th. If you're willing to allow me to pick from your garden, I would greatly appreciate it! I will gladly follow your guidance on what can be harvested and where.

If you'd like to help, please reach out to Andrea at 802-342-1991.

Thank you for helping make this celebration special for our students! 💐

Star Lake Cleanups – June 13 and June 27

The raft is in, and July will bring bottom barriers and weed harvesting. Join us during June to help prepare for the July events.

Two June Saturday sessions, from 10 am to noon on the 13th and 27th, will get things ready for the summer season. Please come and share in these annual chores. Bring your rakes, tractors and other tools to help make way for enhancements to community recreational activities at Star Lake.

For more information, call Phil at (802) 259-2694 or send an email to p.leonard@asu.edu

Happy Friday, friends! We've been waiting for you.

What a week it's been on the farm. Warm temps finally showed up and we made hay — literally. There is something deeply satisfying about putting up bales today knowing they'll feed our animals come winter. The circle of farm life, people.

Out in the pastures, the cattle are living their best lives — fresh grass every single day, rotating paddock to paddock like they own the place (they kind of do). The laying hens? Pure sunshine and bug-hunting bliss. And we've got three batches of meat birds on the farm, all growing up fast and happy.

Now. Let's talk about your weekend.

Last week we had you reaching for the slow cooker. This week? Fire up the grill. The weather is calling for it and we have the ground beef to back it up. Fresh, local, absolutely delicious — grab a pound or two and make this the burger weekend you deserve.

The bakers are bringing their A-game: fresh-baked bread, irresistible desserts, and Millicent's legendary sourdough English muffins. Yes, they go fast. Yes, you should come early.

Need a quick Friday night dinner? Goodman's take-and-bake pizzas have you covered. Grab a pint of Wilcox ice cream while you're at it. Dinner: handled.

And don't sleep on Brown's apple cider — cold and refreshing right now, but equally magical warmed up with spices on a cool evening. It's a two-season situation in one jug.

Come see us this weekend — 12 to 5. Bring a friend, a neighbor, your whole crew. We'll be here, happy to see you.

See you soon! Plew Farm | 1966 Healdville Road, Mount Holly, VT
