Welcome to the Weekend
Happy Friday everyone! Looks like we'll be getting some snow today and through the weekend. The landscape was looking a bit dreary and this mornings snow sure has brightened it up a bit.
Last week we introduced you to our farm. Today we'll take you inside our farm stand.
Our farm stand is located here at our farm and is open Thursdays through Sundays. We accept cash, checks and credit cards.
We've partnered with over 26 vendors to provide you with a variety of amazing goodies. All items are locally produced.
On our produce table you'll find we have apples, garlic, onions, squash, carrots, and potatoes. Our fridge contains fresh greens (lettuce, kale & spinach).
Dairy items include A2A2 organic milk, yogurt, butter, and gelato. The fridge also contains a variety of cheese, apple cider, kombucha, salami and sauerkraut.
Now on to our mini freezers where you'll find we have a selection of ravioli, along with sauces and pesto. And don't forget the gelato! Right next to this freezer we have Goodman's take-and-bake pizzas. Delicious!
Our shelves contain so many goodies .. Honey, notecards, hot sauces, salsa, mustards, hummus, bbq sauce, soap, vinegar, dishcloths, and coffee beans.
Our walls are displayed with hand crafted wood shadow boxes as well as canvas prints. Both are perfect for gifts or just to bring a bit of Vermont into your home!
Fresh bread and baked goods arrive on Saturday. Get her earlier rather than later if you want to score some of these fine tasty treats!
Meat and maple round out our selection. We have our shelves stocked with our award-winning, wood-fired maple syrup, cream and almonds. And our freezers contain a variety of pork and beef cuts.
So there you have it. We hope to see you at the stand this weekend. We'll be open 12:00 - 5:00.
The Mount Holly School PTSA has coordinated a High Mowing Seeds Fundraiser, and we want to be sure that the whole town is stocked up on seeds for their garden!

If you are interested, orders can be placed in person at the Mount Holly Town office, or you can send an email to mounthollyptsa@gmail.com (be sure to include your name and phone number along with the list of items you'd like to order).

Well, we had snow and now it's gone. Mother Nature threw us a curve ball with weather not seen in Vermont for decades. Everyone and everything were set for the start of a good season that we all had been patiently waiting for . . . then New Year's arrived with a drenching rain that washed away most of the snow and pushed the rivers close to overflowing. We were able to get out and groom the trails twice before the snow disappeared.
After the rain and wind had subsided, we headed out to check on the condition of our trails. We found lots of downed trees and a couple areas that had some flood damage. Once again, we have everything set to go when we get some new snow.
Once snow returns, we remind you to please ride with care until we have a chance to groom and build up the base. You will find several rough areas and your sleds can easily be damaged aggressive speeds. It's better to wait and ride when conditions permit rather than damage your sled and get towed back.
The Fireworks we planned for New Year's Eve had to be moved up a day early due to the forecasted rain event. We had a very large turn out that enjoyed our best display to date. A big Thank You to all those who helped with the fireworks; it was appreciated by all.
We have constructed a sign board and have many local businesses who have already jumped on board with sponsoring a sign. We are hoping to fill the sign boards and that riders will soon see the board.
We have a nice supply of club apparel for sale. T-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, hats and caps and soon some glassware and Yeti mugs! Visit our website for more information. Items can be purchased directly online and shipped to your door.
We would like to remind everyone that during this down time it would be a good idea to support those businesses that rely on snowmobilers. Send us your photo of your travel and we will post to Facebook. The lack of snow affects everyone and maybe a lunch or two out-on-town to those who support riders would be greatly appreciated.
Please visit our website at www.mounthollysnowflyers.org for more club news, updates and trail reports. Like us on Facebook and Instagram.
Our club meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Remote attendance is an option via Zoom with details listed on the website. All members are welcome to attend meetings.
At this point everyone is waiting for the snow to come and we're keeping our fingers crossed that it does.
Thank You to all landowners that allow us access to your property, our volunteers who spend countless hours keeping the trails and club functioning. We would like to send a big shout out to our members who purchased a TMA from the Mount Holly Snow Flyers.
