We will GROW through this

April 5, 2020 – 3:06 pm

Spring is advancing and our farm team is doing all we can to exploit the sun’s increasing available hours. Still, on the chilly and gray days when April (snow) showers prevail, it increases the pandemic’s grip on mood and mind. But as Phil Scott and so many strong governors and medical leaders remind us daily, […]

Apples, Pears & Pollinators

September 5, 2019 – 2:36 pm

So for weeks we have been remarking about the apple and pear crops on the farm.

October 23, 2014 – 8:05 am

Really it was rainy day prep with livestock moves — when farmers hear Nor’easter, we pay attention.  Wet, cold and windy….not the best for our pastured livestock, especially tough on the goats, but we have made sure they all have good shelter, plenty of hay as a buffer and thanks to harvest and gleaning they are […]
