Think about a community garden plot

It doesn’t seem like it now but spring will be here before you know it. If you love to garden, but don’t have a garden spot at home, the Granby Community Garden might be just the place for you.

March is Maple Season

Back when we lived high up in the Vermont hills, one of the first signs of Spring was the chorus of spring peepers in March. The jingle-like sound of their mating calls echoed up from the marsh a mile below us.

Spring springs eternal

The seed order is in and the Summer CSA shares are almost sold out (some still available at holcombfarm.org/join-our-csa). Plans for a full “Season of Celebrations” for the 30th anniversary of the Friends of Holcomb Farm, are well underway.

Getting started with a veggie garden

I believe that gardening is a great first step towards conservation. My parents and grandparents gardened when I was young, and that, plus backyard bird feeders, helped me to learn to observe the natural world. I tell anyone interested in gardening to give it a try. Plant something, eat it, and fall in love with the land.

Need a break? Come sit a spell on the Glazier Cabin porch and enjoy the peace and quiet of the GLT’s Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve. Listen to the birds, feel the warmth of the sun, enjoy the view of Creamer Pond, and feel your blood pressure drop.

Friends of Holcomb Farm

You may think things are quiet at Holcomb Farm in the winter months, but you would be wrong. While the fields rest under the ice and snow, our farm crew is busy harvesting and distributing the winter crop.
