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.
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.
Winter shares should be available for on-line purchase via our website in September. New England storage crops—beets, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, rutabaga, and more—get sweeter over time.
To stay abreast of happenings at Holcomb Farm follow us on social media and keep up with what is in season at the CSA and Farm Store.
At Holcomb Farm, the gravel path leading up to the East Fields from Day Street South is bordered by brilliant blue cornflowers (above) attracting all sorts of bees, and by Joe-Pye weed (below).
