The Board of the Friends of Holcomb Farm spent the year-end season assessing results from the year and planning for 2019. As a non-profit organization, we rely on members, volunteers, and farm store, restaurant and CSA customers to do what we do
Happy New Year! If you are like most people, you made a resolution for the new year, and a lot of those resolutions revolve around diet and exercise.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and got to spend time with family and friends. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, the gathering of loved ones around the table enjoying a bounty of food the likes of which you only see once a year.
I’ve vowed to be positive, so don’t get me wrong: life is hard. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.
The Friends of Holcomb Farm hosted its sold-out Harvest Dinner and Silent Auction on Nov. 3, and raised almost $15,000 for its Fresh Access program.
Sarah Leathers, Executive Director of the Healing Meals Programs, shares highlights of their program, and thanks Fresh Access patrons at the Annual Friends of Holcomb Farm Harvest Dinner.

When you are a farmer, November is a good time to take stock of the past growing season, and the summer of 2018 was a tough one.
Several years ago, and for my entire life before that, I thought of food as something to satisfy hunger. Sometimes I thought of it as entertainment; think: a meal on an airplane, popcorn at the movie theater.
Holcomb Farm was once again a key stop on the Granby Open Farm day route, organized by the Granby Agricultural Commission, and the many who stopped by enjoyed great hands-on experiences.
