It's been a long and productive week and we've missed you!  Although we aren't as far along as we had planned with the remodeling of the inside of our farm stand, we WILL BE OPEN!  We will have our canopy and tables set up outside and in front of the farm stand and will be there to help you shop.  And thanks to Mother Nature, it appears as tho it will be a beautiful day to be outside!  A few things to note for this weekend: We will be open Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 12:00-5:00. There will be no croissants or pastries on Saturday, as the baker will be taking a day off. We've added organic BUTTER from Larson Farm and Creamery to our dairy selection!! We have a limited number of tulip bouquets.  Just in time for Mother's Day! Our product list has been updated on our website to help you plan your shopping trip.  You can find more information here! We've been posting progress pictures on our social media pages so you can follow along.  This week we removed the two sliding doors and added a new door.  All contents of the farm stand were emptied before the foam insulation started.  And the contents of the farm stand are in my dining room and in the back of my car !!!  The shiplap ceiling installation has begun and when that is finished we will begin the shiplap walls.     Plew Farm 1966 Healdville Road     Mount Holly, Vermont  05758 www.plewfarm.com Farm stand open Tuesday - Sunday 12:00-5:00 Closed on Mondays   802.259.2250 plewfarm@gmail.com Once again I want to send my heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers from Community Cares Who came and got everything out of the container and back into the house today.
