Latest edition of the Chitchat


It's Friday, and it's 20 degrees cooler this morning than it has been all week. And that makes us happy here at the farm!

Fresh chicken season is here and we've got them in the farm stand just waiting for you. Fresh, not frozen, and simply the best tasting chicken around.

The grandkids have had a busy start to their summer, thanks to all of you! Jackson & Dominic continually sell out weekly of their hand-packed bags of mulch hay. Don't worry, we are stocked and ready for the weekend. All 3 grandkids make, market, and sell their hand-squeezed lemonade in the farm stand on Thursdays and Fridays. And again, they sell out every single week! Thank you!

In the farm stand this weekend we will have a variety of goods! Salad greens, cucumbers, zucchini, garlic, onions, carrots, beets, fresh bread, and baked goods.

Let's not forget we have a selection of jams, mustards, honey, yogurt, cheese, pizzas and ice cream! We had alot of ice cream pass through the farm stand doors this past week. We may have had an ice cream bar or two ourselves!

Beef and pork await your dinner plans. Steaks, ground, sausage, ribs, and roast. Stop on by and let's see what we can help you with for dinner.

We'd love to have you stop by and visit our farm stand. We are located at 1966 Healdville Road in Mount Holly. Hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 12:00-6:00. Bring a friend - don't shop alone!

With the summer season upon us, please be mindful of hay equipment, customer traffic, and grandkids as you drive in and out of the driveway.

FREE BEER 🍺 & BUTTER 🧈 TASTING!Join us this Sunday, July 20th, from 5pm-7pm to taste some incredible local craft beers while also trying our new spice mixes by Clean Brine Co & Pickling Solutions. These spice mixes were initially intended as brines for Thanksgiving turkeys, but the creator of these blends kept making incredible recipe after incredible recipe out of them. One of the many ways to use these spices are by grinding them and mixing with butter for a delicious compound butter. That's what we'll be sampling alongside the beers. We can't wait to enjoy these scrumptious spreads with you all!
Details for the event can be found here, https://www.facebook.com/share/1EJk8kVGY7/ . Hope to see you there!

FRIDAY, JULY 18. 6 PM
ROD MACDONALD at the Shrewsbury Meeting House
Rod is a gifted singer-songwriter, creating songs of social commentary and humanity's shared experiences. The good kind of tunes that get stuck in your head. A key player in NYC's folk revival, Rod performed at Greenwich Village hotspots like the Speakeasy and The Bottom Line, and co-founded the Greenwich Village Folk Festival. His songs have been covered by many artists, and he's appeared on stage with a myriad of performers on a list that reads like the Who's Who of American folk music. In addition to being a prolific song spinner, and with a background in the Army, law school, as a journalist, educator and novelist, Rod sees the world through many lenses, and his sweet tenor voice, harmonica and guitar help to tell the stories.
Please pay what you are able to with cash, check or Venmo contribution at the concerts. This is all about connecting with your community and having a good time with your neighbors. Bring a chair or blanket. If rainy, we move indoors.
For more info, call 802-558-2708, email singtolive57@gmail.com or follow us on Facebook: Shrewsbury Meeting House Concert Series.
This evening's food options will be provided by Marble Valley Kitchen.
