Opening Day May 2nd 2009, with free cake

4/20/2009

3 Comments

 

This is from Marie at Little Pond Flower Farm:  

The Amherst Farmers’ Market kicks off their season on Saturday, May 2.  To celebrate the Market’s opening day, and Amherst’s 250th birthday, Wheatberry, The Black Sheep, Henion Bakery and Atkins Farms are providing free birthday cake for all at the market.  This celebration coincides with the culmination of Amherst’s 250th birthday daffodil project.  Over 22,000 daffodils were planted last fall in the town center, and throughout neighborhoods of Amherst.

 

The Amherst Farmers’ Market has been in continuous operation for 36 years, making it among the longest running markets in the state - second only to Fanueil Hall in Boston.  It takes place every Saturday morning, 7:30-1:30, May 2 through November 21.  Voted the Valley’s Best Farmers’ Market, the market takes great pride in featuring the freshest locally grown organic vegetables, fruits, cut flowers, herbs, artisan breads, meats, eggs, cheese, yogurt, maple syrup, honey, plants, and much more. So come on out, support your local farmers, and celebrate Amherst’s birthday with the Amherst Farmers’ Market. We’ll see you there.

Chase Hill Farm featured in the Recorder...

Our own lovely and talented Jeannette at Chase Hill Farm was featured in the Recorder the other day - they built a cheese cave, no joke. Here's the link: http://www.recorder.com/story.cfm?id_no=6016030 not sure why they put 'cave' in quotes, but whatever.


They also made a new website - chasehillfarm.com - who said all the good domains were taken?

An Update from Lee and Deb at Chicken Feather Farm...

4/7/2009

Happy Spring from Chicken Feather Farm!  

We are happy to report that most of our plants weathered the winter undeterred by the wind and ice storms of last January.  The extra protection of snow was good news to all Hemerocallis, Coreopsis, Sedum, Epimedium and their friends in the plant community (not as welcome news to Deb and Lee and chickens and canines.)

We’re busy at the farm uncovering the propagation beds and enjoying the early flowers of Helleborus orientalis.  Today Lee potted dozens of gorgeous peonia, euphorbia, and papaver that are sure to be a major hit this summer.  (We’re sticking with Latin ‘cause that’s the way Lee is.)

Today was the dogs’ birthdays—Lilly is 12 and Rose is 3—so they entertained us non-stop by dropping tennis balls at our feet or in the wheelbarrows.  We must have needed the extra exercise required to toss them across the field for an easy retrieve.

We anticipate plenty of bloodroot, dwarf irises, and Spring ephemerals at early markets and are really looking forward to reconnecting with old gardening friends and meeting new ones at the Amherst Farmers’ Market.
