There is something about hardship (for example, a pandemic) that brings out the best in many people, and the many supporters of the Friends of Holcomb Farm’s Fresh Access program is a case in point.
Remember the wet spring and summer of 2019? Well, 2020 has been a little different.
The Winter 2020-21 CSA is open for purchase, and always sells out.
The Summer 2020 CSA shares sold out incredibly quickly and we know our customers are anxious to reserve their shares for next summer, so we have opened our online sales earlier than usual: Oct. 1 via the website (holcombfarm.org).
2020 was a rough year for humans, but it was a great year for tomatoes!
In the absence of a true executive director, the Friends of Holcomb Farm board president Bob Bystrowski saw the need for a person to bridge the goals of the board with community and financial resources.
Back in the Holcomb Farm Farm Store for another season is the infamous umami bomb… black garlic!
These three elm trees are on the Tree Trail at Holcomb Farm. All three were planted in October 2018, and have grown several feet since.
When the coronavirus hit, Holcomb Farm Summer CSA shares sold out in record time and a lengthy waitlist developed.
If you are looking for ways to contribute to others during these trying times, your donations to Fresh Access are always welcome, and go directly to providing the food we grow to people in need right here in Granby and throughout the greater Hartford region.
