Our meat chickens are pasture raised and housed in chicken tractors which we move daily so they can access fresh grass. Chickens generally average about 5lbs and are sold as a whole bird. Use the unbagged chickens to cut up into pieces/parts and freeze for a later date.  I did this all last year, and come winter, those chicken breasts and legs were deliciously prepared into meals.  CHICKEN PROCESSING SPECIAL: Purchase unbagged fresh chickens from our chill tank to your bag and/or cooler and save money while you're at it! Unbagged chicken is $4.50/lb (you'll save .75/lb!). If you are interested in taking advantage of our unbagged special, you must reserve your chickens in advance. Drop us an email (please do NOT respond to this email) no later than Wednesday at 9:00am, and let us know how many you'd like to reserve. Your reserved unbagged chicken must be picked up at our farm stand Wednesday, June 16th 12:00 & 5:00. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN BAG (or cooler, stockpot, etc.) FOR TRANSPORTING YOUR CHICKEN HOME.

Mount Holly Newsflash - Saturday, June 12, 2021 - Morning edition The weather today in Mount Holly - A chance of rain showers before 8am. Partly sunny, with a high near 72. Northeast wind around 3 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

In 1950, the spirits seemed to go with the house when it was relocated to Shelburne Museum.  Today it's considered Champlain Valley's most haunted place as museum staff and volunteers have talked about a man, children and other specters that seem to haunt the place. As a result, many prefer not to work in there. On June 19 (Saturday), the Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) will be hosting a "ghost walk" of Cavendish Village, where "haunts" and places of "exceptional human experiences" (EHE) will be visited. The tour begins at 8 pm in front of the CHS Museum (1951 Main St., Route 131 in Cavendish). Wear comfortable shoes and bring a flashlight. The tour is free and open to the public. CHS welcomes all stories relating to houses and places in Cavendish and Proctorsville.
