Looks like we're in for a great weekend. The first calf of the season arrived a week ago. She's a cutie and doing very well with her momma and the rest of the cattle inside the big red barn. The laying hens are well protected from the wind as well as they hang out in their winter quarters. Their bedded hoop house not only keeps them warm, it gives them plenty of room to roam! And the snow banks along the sides help keep the wind out and the warmth in.
Our farm stand is open for the weekend and we're looking forward to seeing you. We've got farm fresh eggs, pastured raised whole chickens, pork, and beef. Various cuts available - stop and take a look at our meat board. In season produce includes: potatoes, onions, garlic, apples, shallots and carrots.
The grandkids have a couple bags of kindling available this weekend for those who may be in need of some! Great for starting those wood stoves! We'd love to have you stop by the farm stand. Located at 1966 Healdville Road in Mount Holly. Cash, checks and credit cards accepted.
There is plenty of parking in front of the farm stand, please pull in to park. Be mindful of other customers, snow banks, farm equipment and grandkids as you pull into our driveway. | | | | | CAVENDISH ABOLITIONIST DIES AT 106
"The Vermont Watchman," "State Gazette" and "The Liberator," an abolitionist newspaper printed from 1831-1865, published that on Jan 30, 1832, Peter Tumbo, "colored man", aged 106 died in Cavendish, VT. Referred to as Peter Tumber in town records and as Tumbo in other sources, he survived the Middle Passage, the stage where enslaved Africans were transported from West Africa to North America, fought in the American Revolutionary War and lived the last 40 years of his life in Cavendish VT.
Was he really 106 years old when he died?
That question, along with many others will be answered at a Cavendish Historical Society talk on February 5 (Wednesday) from 6-7:30 pm at the Cavendish Library, 573 Main Street, Proctorsville.
Since Peter was most likely from the Tumbo region of W. Africa, the program will include a discussion on the role beads played in the slave trade. Following the presentation, participants will have an opportunity to make a bracelet or book mark with West African beads. This program has been made possible thanks to a grant from the Cavendish Community Fund.
In the event of snow, please check the Cavendish VT Facebook page www.facebook.com/cavendishvt
