Farm Tour 2019 has begun!
First stop: @TheRedAppleFarm, a 100 year old, 4th generation family farm in Phillipston that uses green solar & wind energy to offer 50+ varieties of apples & pick-your-own pumpkins, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, pears & potatoes.
They’ve also got a fantastic country store that’s got New England maple syrup, fresh coffee, cider, local jams and jellies, and cider donuts!
☔️ Last year the very wet weather New England had kept people away on the weekends & ruined three pumpkin fields.
🌪 This year was the first time they’ve ever had hail from an unusually strong storm that swung down from the north (also strange) and damaged several fields.
This is what hail does to blueberries. If #ClimateChange causes more hail, farmers are going to be dealing with this kind of damage more and more often.
Can’t think of a better way to kick off Farm Tour 2019. Thank you @TheRedAppleFarm for the warm welcome & everything you do for our community!
