Welcome to the Weekend!
Memorial Day Weekend is here and we are ready for you! Our farm stand has been busy this week with folks gearing up for grilling and such. Our ground beef and ground beef patties have been flying off the shelves! Stop on by and get yours - your guests will thank you. You'll also find we have steaks (sirloin, strip, tenderloin, t-bones), briskets, chorizo, and roasts. In our pork freezer, we have chops, sausage, ham steaks, and roasts. We also carry bbq sauce, salsa, mustards, and seasonings to go along with your meal. Farm fresh eggs are in full supply, and I'm thinking deviled eggs will do the trick this weekend.
Let's step over to the fridge, where you'll find milk, yogurt (maple is my favorite), greens, cider, ravioli and sauces, and a variety of cheese!
Maple ... need we say more?! We've got our maple shelves stocked for the weekend. Sryup, cream, and almonds are ready for you.
Fresh bread arrives on Saturday (yippee!). The farm house white loaf is perfect for grilled sandwiches or french toast. We had both last week! And for you folks who don't live local, we invite you to visit our online store found on our website. We don't want you to go without some delicious award winning wood fired Vermont maple syrup!!
Our farm stand is located at 1966 Healdville Road in Mount Holly. Open Tuesdays through Sundays from 12:00pm-5:00pm. Closed on Mondays!
TURKEYS
This will be a challenging year for raising turkeys. Prices are up on everything involved with getting and raising them (gas, feed, trucking, packaging, etc). We are taking orders now for Thanksgiving turkeys. We have a FEW turkeys left, so if you're looking for a Plew Farm pasture raised Thanksgiving turkey, please let us know now! Turkeys typically average about 18lbs each, and we expect the price to be between $6.50 & $7.00 per pound. We are not requiring a deposit for your order at this time. Do let us know if you'd like to order a turkey and be placed on our 2022 turkey reservation list. Drop us an email to plewfarm@gmail.com.
