Last month I wrote about Granby’s more recent doctors, William Dwyer to Alfred Weed. They were modern doctors who had learned the principles of germ theory.

Holcomb Farm’s Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) and Pick-Your-Own (PYO) programs connect you directly to the land and the farmers who tend it—providing seasonal produce and supporting sustainable agriculture while strengthening local food access.
