In the last two years, many nonprofit organizations in town have celebrated anniversary milestones.
It’s October in Granby, and that means our agricultural roots are in their glory. (See what I did there?)
Our Winter CSA sold out in record time this year. Few farms offer local produce all winter long, making this a highly sought-after product.
Developing and maintaining the views at Holcomb Farm—especially the views from the land east of Simsbury Road, looking back over the Farm toward Broad Hill—is a never-ending task for the Friends, led by our Stewardship committee and many volunteers.
Alyssa Hall’s harp music enthralls Smoke, one of the equines at Angel Horses during the annual Open Farm Day Sept. 17.
On Sept. 11, members of the Granby Land Trust’s Youth Conservation Corps labored for several hours on the GLT’s Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve.
Driving down Route 10/202 south of town center takes you past the new Granby Wildflower Meadow (GWM)across from Maple View Farm. You will see a section filled with little flags which indicate where plant plugs were placed by community effort in June.
