Welcome to the Weekend

Happy Friday everyone! There's a chill in the air and sun in the skies, what more could we ask for?!

We are gearing up for the Thanksgiving holiday here in the farm stand. Shelves are getting loaded up with all sorts of goodies. Jams, mustards, honey, and hot sauces and more.

Keep us in mind when looking for gifts this year. Not only do we have gift certificates, we have canvas prints, note cards, hand crafted lamps and magnets, just to name a few.

Fresh bread arrives on Saturday, we missed them last week! Millicent dropped by yesterday with her fabulous sour dough English muffins. You know the drill folks, get here early if you want some. They sell out every single weekend!

How about a homemade pie or two for your Thanksgiving meal?! We'll have apple pie and pumpkin pie available in the farm stand beginning next weekend, just in time for your holiday meal. Pre-orders required. Let us know what you'd like.

Produce offerings this weekend will be: potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, onions, apples, garlic, greens, cabbage and spinach.

Our meat freezers are stock with beef (ground, steaks, stew and roasts), pork (ground, sausage, ribs, chops, and roasts) and chicken (sold whole).

We'd love to have you stop by the farm stand. Located at 1966 Healdville Road in Mount Holly. Hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 12:00 - 5:00. Cash, checks and credit cards accepted.

Please be mindful of other customers, farm equipment and grandkids as you pull into our driveway. We've got plenty of parking in front of the farm stand.
