Plew Farm is a diversified farm located in the beautiful Vermont town of Mount Holly.  We began our farming adventure in 2011.  We raise a variety of animals here at our farm including chicken (both for meat and eggs), pigs, cattle and turkeys.  We retail our meat and eggs in our on-site farm store. We also make hay throughout the summer, which is used for our own cattle's needs and also for resale here at our farm. Our 150 acre farm also includes a 12 acre sugar bush, which we use in the spring to produce some of the best tasting wood fired Vermont maple syrup around!  Our syrup is sold at our farm stand and also available on our website! Our farm stand continues to provide our community with some amazing locally grown and produced goodies.  In addition to our own meat, maple and eggs, you'll find other products like pizza, cheese, honey, mustards, veggies, coffee beans, canvas prints and so much more. We thank you for following along our farm journey and invite you to stop on by our farm stand if you're out and about!  We are open Tuesdays through Sundays from 12:00-5:00pm and would love to see you! We will be offering homemade pies for Thanksgiving, apple and pumpkin.  Orders are encouraged, so let us know sooner rather than later if you'd like one!  Send your order to this email! Our pastry baker is taking this week off, so no pastries or croissants until next week!!   Please be cautious and drive accordingly when driving in and out of our driveway.  Be on the lookout for farm equipment, dogs, other customers, and  grandchildren!  INTRODUCING YOUR FARMERS!   Your farm crew!  These three grandkids provide us with so much joy!  And they love helping out at the farm!  Gathering eggs, forking hay, working the farm stand, hitching up wagons, building fences and on and on!

Thanks,  Phil 802-236-3046 A set of keys went missing in Pierce's yesterday and I was hoping you could send out an email in case somebody happened to grab them. They are on a rainbow carabiner. It includes a black key fob, a black topped chevy key, a standard house key, and a blue tag that says 2008 Chevy Colorado. If you could send out a blast and ask people to drop them by if they have seen them that would be super helpful. -- Thanks, Bob Knudsen
