A Harvest Dinner to remember and Coming Events at Holcomb farm
Five new members have recently joined the Friends of Holcomb Farm board. An introduction to each will be provided here in the next five issues, in no particular order, starting off with John Oates.
Don’t show up empty-handed to your holiday parties—give the gift of local, chemical-free produce and Holcomb Farm merchandise to your loved ones!
The 2025 Celebrating New England’s Natural Beauty Art Show, hosted by the Granby Land Trust (GLT) and the Granby Artists Association (GAA), once again brought hundreds of people to Lost Acres Vineyard for an evening of art, community and appreciation for the natural world. The vineyard’s gallery walls were filled with works inspired by New England’s diverse landscapes—from sweeping mountain vistas to familiar scenes from right here in Granby.
The Granby Land Trust (GLT) extends its heartfelt thanks to the Granby Memorial High School Boys Soccer Team and all GLT members who volunteered their time at the Mary Edwards Mountain Property during the Fall Preserve Our Properties Day on Nov. 1.
Cooler days and cozy nights are finally here. This warm comforting soup is perfect for the season—and the months ahead!
Oct. 26 was a sunny warm day—perfect for the Granby Land Trust’s Dave Emery to take a group of 20 hikers on a walk that highlighted the beaver deceiver installed at the Dismal Brook Wildlife Sanctuary. A very industrious group of beavers had constructed a dam under the footbridge, effectively raising the water level on one side of the Dismal Brook and lowering it on the other side of the bridge.
