KAYAK FOR SALE - $300

This Sun Velocity kayak is a true "crossover" boat – it's like owning two different kayaks! Want to paddle across a lake? Drop the skeg (not pictured but included) and it tracks beautifully while cutting effortlessly through the water. Want to do river rapids? Put on the included spray skirt and pull up the skeg, and the boat's rocker (front to back curve like a banana) makes it surprisingly maneuverable for spinning around rocks and logs up to Class II rapids, while its pointed nose cuts smoothly through the wave trains. In either environment, it is amazingly stable. And its two waterproof compartments let you carry lots of gear. This truly is a fun boat! Call Steve Hazelton at 802-259-3072 to check it out!

Final call for local gardeners!

Planning is under way for the 18^th annual Mount Holly Garden Tour, and we need a few more gardens to ensure that this beloved tradition will carry on this year.

It is a fun day for all participants; the gardeners who share their knowledge and hard work and the visitors who find inspiration and beauty on a lovely summer day.

We are looking for all types of gardens; those that produce vegetables and fruits to feed a family or those that grow flowers and trees for a beautiful landscape.

(and of course those that do both!)

If you are open to participating, please contact leah knoll for more information

259-4137 or leahknoll@yahoo.com

Thank you

Hello there and welcome to the weekend.

We've enjoyed a few sunny days this past week, which was a welcome site. The cattle continue to graze the pastures around the farm, enjoying the sun and lush grass.

We've switched to summer hours and our farm stand is now open 5 days a week for your shopping convenience. Open Wednesdays through Sundays from 12:00-5:00.

The grandsons will have their hand-packed bags of mulch hay for sale in front of the farm stand. This is their 5th year selling their bags of hay, and they look forward to serving you.

In the baked goods department this weekend you'll find: Millicent's sourdough English muffins, Mountain Robin's tasty treats (arriving on Saturday), and Patti's homemade rhubarb pie (on Saturday).

Start your weekend meal with some of our pork, chicken, or beef! From ground to steaks to roasts, we've got just what you need for dinner. And don't forget, we have quite a few recipes on our website!

We invite you to stop by our farm stand when you're out and about. We accept cash, checks and credit cards. Located at 1966 Healdville Road in Mount Holly. We look forward to seeing you this weekend!
