Hello from Maple Wind Farm. Just checking in on this snowy and windy day 9 days before Christmas to say hi. We wish all of you safe and wonderful holidays with your family and friends and a happy solstice.

Now that the garden is blanketed with snow and the animals are all in their winter housing here at the farm, life is slowing down just a bit around here to a dull roar. Its always something for our family… Over Thanksgiving we packed up our home (with the help of some hardy friends and relatives) and moved to the farmhouse. We hope this is our last move since we’ve now lived in 3 houses on the same street in 10 years! Its great to look out the window and see pigs, horses, cows and chickens from one vantage point! We feel blessed to sell our old house in this economy. Now we are focusing on the farm, skiing and enjoying some fun over the holidays.

Speaking of holidays…. DECEMBER 20th (this Saturday) we will be at the Burlington Farmers Market at Memorial Auditorium from 10-2pm. Great market! Come by and say hi. We’ll have a great selection of meat for sale.

Gift boxes of local meat make great last minute gift ideas for the foodie! Let us know if we can help with a goodie box of lamb, pork, beef or chicken for that hard to find gift idea.

Our new CSA membership form will be out the first of the year. You’ll be seeing one in the mail or via email. Be sure to spread the word about our vegetable program to your friends, we’d love to expand our membership!

Be well, eat local. Happy holidays.

Beth and Bruce
