Morning Greeter

|

Softly with us as we walk along
Beckoning quietly the early dawn
Carefully viewing our passage by
Announcing our presence with its graceful cry.

Verse

Remembering My Mother

As I remember my mother on Mother’s Day, I think of all she taught me by her actions.

Spotlight on Joe O’Grady

By |

Joe O’Grady joined the Friends of Holcomb Farm as its Farm Manager in 2014. Together with his partner Emma and their two children Juniper and Willow (who both were born right in the old farmhouse, as we suspect were Tudor and Laura Holcomb, more than a century prior), they have quickly emerged as important, active members of the Granby community.
