It is fall in New England, and Granby offers some of the best open space hikes around; the Town’s own Holcomb Farm is one of them. The Friends’ Stewardship volunteers have been busy mowing the east field, maintaining walking paths, planting and labeling trees, installing eight new interpretive signs, installing new boardwalks over muddy areas, and rehabbing the South East Field.

Fall is almost here and it is my favorite time of the year. The weather changes and so does the menu; more soups and stews and warm comfort food and, of course, pumpkin everything!
