It's Friday, it's the start of the weekend, and we absolutely cannot wait to share it with you.

This Week on the Farm

Warm days, cool nights — the weather gods were good to us this week! Every critter on the farm has been soaking up the sunshine and loving these seasonal temps.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

Our farm stand has been hopping lately, and for that, we thank you! We know how precious weekend time is, and the fact that you carve out some of yours to shop local with us? That warms our hearts every single time.

Fresh From the Garden

This weekend's veggie lineup is pure summer perfection:
Squash • Cukes • Tomatoes • Greens • Garlic • Onions • Beets • Corn (arriving Saturday!)

Honestly, we just love this time of year for veggies.

Sweet News: Cheesecake Has Entered the Chat

New to our treat table this weekend — cheesecake from Stevens Farm! Pre-sliced, so you don't have to commit to a whole cake (unless you want to, no judgment here). For those of us who've already sampled their baked goods — us included — you're in for a treat. These will not disappoint.

It's Still Fresh Chicken Season!

Super fresh, super delicious, and ready to star in your weekend dinner. Grab a couple — and stash one in the freezer for later. You're welcome.

Rounding Out the Meat Case

Beef (ground, steaks, roasts) and pork (chops, bacon, sausage, ribs) fill out the lineup. And every bit of it came from animals raised right here on our farm. You truly can't get more local than that.

See You This Weekend!

We're open 12–5, Wednesday through Sunday, and we'd love to you.

Second Announcement

  Mount Holly resident René Bugnon will share the results of his recent metal detection adventures undertaken with Brad Martin (Green Mountain Metal Detecting) near René’s Mount Holly home.  What they have found includes a Colonial shoe buckle from the 1700s, harmonica reeds, and part of an 1800s parasol hidden in an old cellar hole.  These are some of the treasures unearthed in our little town!  While you’re at it, visit the Museum’s collection of Mount Holly memorabilia.  See you on Saturday, August 15, 2026, when the Museum will be open from 2 to 4 pm.  At 2:15, René will present his findings and also show two videos about metal detection experiences in Mount Holly.
