Reflections on Juneteenth 2020

by

It’s obvious at this point that 2020 will be a year for the history books. As much as the future is our main focus in everything we prioritize at the farm, the past has shaped our landscape both literally and figuratively.

We can by no means take credit for leading the movements, such … Keep Reading

What We Grow

We grow apples, peaches, pears, pumpkins, gourds, potatoes, winter squash, blueberries, raspberries, popping corn, Indian corn, and sunflowers. We grow over 50 unique types of apples.

Lessons from Nature in New England

by

Year after … Keep Reading

Apple Picking Times of the Past

by

With apple season coming into full swing this year its great to take a moment and look back at past apple seasons.  Thanks to Mrs. Nancy MacEwan, our friend and neighbor, we recently acquired a 1968 article featuring a picture of her picking and sorting apples.  Here’s an excerpt from Worcester’s The Evening Gazette that I hope you enjoy reading as much as we do: Apple Farm to Hold Annual Open House By Steven Preston, The Evening Gazette, Thursday, October … Keep Reading
