Green Meadows Farm Art Installations

Green Meadows Farm has some Montserrat College of Art student sculpture installations throughout the fields and grounds. Check it out throughout the off season, until planting begins!

Green Meadows Farm: CSA Haul

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) means that you invest in the farm by paying at the planting season so the farmer has money for seed and then you get a share of the food they produce.

Our CSA keeps us in touch with reality of the seasons, the food, and gets us outside. (Not to mention it’s a great value and delicious!) It is so much fun every week picking up our produce and cutting flowers and herbs. Almost every week has pick your own such as blueberries and beans the week this was taken.

Here is the haul from our small share a few weeks back plus some focal art from my wee one…

CSA Haul

Many local farms offer them and at less than $20 a week it’s a great value for our small share. If you’re interested, find a local CSA here at Local Harvest.

Green Meadows Farm Series: Piggildy-Wigglies!

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!

Piggildy-Wiggly Snuggly

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

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
