May 6–7 and May 20–21: The Annual Plant and Seedling Sale at the Farm Store, 111 Simsbury Road in West Granby. This sale is so popular that there will be two of them this year. The first, on Mother’s Day weekend, will feature mainly hardy veggie plants, herbs and flowers. Give your mom a lasting gift that will make her smile all summer long. This sale will be held May 6 and 7, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The second will take place on May 20 and 21 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Here, in addition to some of the veggies, flowers and herbs on sale earlier in the month, we will introduce some summer-lovin’ big boys like melons, tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini and basil. Whether you’re planning to plant a full veggie garden or a few pots of herbs on the patio, Holcomb Farm is where you’ll want to start.
June 15: The retail Farm Store opens to the public for the summer, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The first week of the 20-week Summer CSA starts then, too.

August 20: Friends of Holcomb Farm Annual Members’ Meeting to be held at the Seat, in the East Fields.
