SUPPORT FRIENDS OF HOLCOMB FARM

Volunteers harvest fruit

The Friends of Holcomb Farm is the nonprofit, member-based organization that oversees all the ways in which the farm serves people in Granby and beyond. Your annual gift of $35 or more makes you a member, and helps support the important work we do. We hope you'll join us, and connect with this special place -- this "jewel of Granby" -- Holcomb Farm.

SUPPORT FRESH ACCESS

Check out this video, created by students from the University of Saint Joseph who conducted interviews at Holcomb Farm in 2022. It does a great job of explaining our Fresh Access program, through which we grow food for people in need.

POV: you’re a Pick Your Own pea getting seeded and tucked in the PYO beds

We grow a wide variety of snap and snow peas that provide an early and sweet crop
Beyond the fresh flavor and tender texture, peas are incredible nitrogen fixers. Nitrogen is crucial to a healthy and productive soil profile. Crops like peas, beans, and other legumes absorb nitrogen from the atmosphere and work symbiotically with the rhizobium bacteria to distribute nitrogen throughout the soil and to other plants.
To grow our PYO peas we…
hydrate the peas until they sprout
seed them
tuck them in with belly mounted sweeps on one of the tractors
trellis them to encourage vertical growth

Spring has sprung, warmer days are upon us, and planting season has begun! It is that time of year when we supply you with all the organic, non-GMO seedlings you need for your summer garden. This year, our annual plant sales will be spread across three weekends, giving you maximum, opportunities to stock up, fill your garden space, and make sure you have all the seedlings you need for your garden.

We will have vegetables, herbs, flowers, greens, galore. All seedlings are grown in organic-standard soil using non-GMO seeds and were hand-seeded and cared for by the farm crew.

Friday, May 9th and Saturday, May 10th are great opportunities to celebrate Mother’s Day and shop for Mom!

Thank you for choosing local! Oh and don’t forget a box to carry your plants!
