Green Meadows Farm Series: Piggildy-Wigglies!

Posted on by blackswanbeth

Green Meadows Farm – fat, sleepy, well-fed, happy piggildy-wigglies! We’ve watched these guys grow and someday we will call them food, but for now they are piggildy-wigglies!

These guys have a natural social living arrangement, a large area to roam and root, and in addition to high quality grain, are fed the occasional organic veggie by farm visitors. They love broccoli! Who would have thought?

Green Meadows Farm Series: Summer Harvest Festival

Posted on by blackswanbeth

We had a blast at the Summer Harvest Festival on Sunday and took so many great photos that I decided to so a series. I plan on featuring many great local farms more formally in my posting slot (once I get the time to go and visit them with camera in hand)! For now, enjoy the Summer Harvest Festival at Green Meadows Farm…

Check out these nice bright lobster buoys decorating the Gloucester House! They are always so friendly and accommodating when we bring our son and really have the most delicious, reasonably-priced food.

Farmer’s Market from Yesterday!

Tried any maple cotton candy lately? What about marinated lupine bean and hummus spread? Not to mention all the fresh peaches, apricots, and delicious produce feasts! Rob and I split a mushroom Puff Tart and two cold, local (Charlestown) Sodas for a late lunch. YUM!

Kids Closet has a section of women’s clothes now too, in addition to all the awesome kids clothes there. A play area in the back is great for the wee ones!
