Hello Friday and welcome to the start of the weekend! We're expecting nice weather this weekend. Not too chilly, and a little bit of sun. Will we see snow?!

As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday week, we will be adjusting our farm stand hours. We will be open through the weekend as normal. Thanksgiving week we will be open Monday & Tuesday from 12-5 and on Wednesday 12-4. Closed on Thursday, and then back to normal weekend hours.

We've got the farm stand shelves, fridge and freezers ready for your holiday shopping. Don't be caught without!

Not cooking a turkey this year? How about a Plew Farm chicken? We've got them in sizes ranging from 3lbs to 6lbs. Or grab a brisket for your smoker! Or a chuck roast for your slow cooker. Rather have something for your grill? We've got steaks, pork chops and ham steaks. Stop on in and we'll help you decide.

Eggs! Don't forget to grab an extra dozen if you're making deviled eggs for the holidays. And thank you for bringing by your used egg cartons. We are putting them to good use!

Veggies this weekend will include: salad greens, potatoes, onions, garlic, shallots, carrots, and leeks. And we've got some 2lb bags of mixed root vegetables from our friends at Evening Song Farm.

We look forward to seeing you this weekend at the farm stand. Remember we are open 12:00-5:00. Located at 1966 Healdville Road in Mount Holly. We accept cash, checks and credit cards.

Ludlow, VT: Please consider supporting ESBR this year for our annual Giving Tuesday/End of Year Campaign 2025! Funds go directly to education, and as the 6th year of operation nears its halfway mark, helps ESBR acquire further resources, programs, and passionate professional instructors to assist students on their expeditionary learning journey.

In turn, as the forefront of our Mission, ESBR educates students to be intellectually curious, resourceful, and confident in themselves for a life of personal fulfillment and civic engagement, thus being contributing members of their community. The School continues to grow and started with 22 students this school year, a significant jump in enrollment after only a few years in operation. Students this year have even started their own local news vlog, which can be viewed on the ESBR website. We are so impressed with their creativity and hope you will join us in supporting their projects!

*Please note that due to delays ESBR's 501©3 Status is currently being updated; donations can still be made and accepted, but Tax Exempt acknowledgement for any current donations will be delayed.

"This time of year can be especially challenging for shelters, and we hope the generosity of our customers and neighbors can help ease their burden and bring comfort to the animals awaiting their forever homes."
