Spring is turning us towards poetry
|
March is here in Granby, with everything from the sweet smell of maple sap boiling to the rumble of plows heard clearing late-season heavy snowfall to stimulate our senses.

The cold depths of New England winter offer a (relatively) quiet time for its farmers, yet the Friends of Holcomb Farm are kept warm by the good things happening in our community. We think you should be, too.

Summer’s bounty, and winter shares abundant, too

Holcomb Farm’s CSA members, Farm Store customers, restaurants who source fresh produce from us, and organizations that benefit from the donor-supported Fresh Access food program, have all seen what a wet spring and consistent, professional farm-management can do: fill the fields with fresh, local food that we will be harvesting right through October.

Great Food for a Great Cause
|
Do you like to eat fresh, local food, expertly prepared by a local chef? Do you like buying exciting, one-of-a-kind items? Do you like knowing that your money will help ensure that others, less fortunate than you, are able to eat fresh, local produce?
