Re: Thank you for all your help
September 24th at the Stockbridge Farmers market: Lion’s Tooth Farm will be at the market with a variety of meats and herbal salts. (scroll down for a detailed description of what they will have available). We will have fresh picked organic sweet corn fresh baked goods from Berkshire Mountain Bakery, organic cherry tomatoes organic raspberries, and a wide variety of organic leafy green vegetables, honey, beef tallow products, and maple syrup products.? The market is on the front lawn of the town offices, 50 Main St., from 3 PM to 6 PM ?.Some vendors close at 5:45 pm.
If you can’t find a parking place right in front of the market on the street, you can park at the back of the town hall anytime the market is open. After 4 PM you can also park in any open spaces near the basketball court.
SNAP recipients will be able to use the Market match program to make the produce very affordable.
Lion’s Tooth Farm is a small family farm in Windsor whose products are made as cleanly and organically as possible.
Our beef, lamb, and goat is entirely grass-fed and finished. Our pork is pasture-raised and fed a local certified organic soy-free grain. Our animals receive no antibiotics. They forage on pesticide-free trees and grasses as well as our own hay.
We grow and blend our own herbal cosmetics, herbal wellness products and animal based cosmetics. Everything organically grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides or fungicides.
Stockbridge Land Trust Annual Meeting
The Stockbridge Land Trust will hold its annual meeting (open to members and the public) on Saturday, October 4th at 11:00 AM. The meeting will be held at Mohawk Lake at the end of Mohawk Lake Road (directions and map below). There is ample parking; light refreshments will be served. Besides very brief business at the meeting, we will hear more about the newly-preserved Stowe parcel, the lands around it and their history, including the “train to nowhere.” After the meeting, we will offer a walk around the lake. Our rain date is Sunday the October 5th at 11:00 AM (check our website for any updates – https://www.stockbridgelandtrust.org/).
Also at the meeting, we will remember past SLT President Shep Evans, who recently passed. Among Shep’s achievements in service to the SLT and our Town was an instrumental role in the saving of the invaluable 23-acre “4 Corners” parcel at the northwest corner of Routes 102 and 183. We have more about Shep on our website.
Editor’s note: Rich, thank you for remembering Shep. He was a good man, an asset to every job he took on and every committee he sat on. Most of all, he was a good friend.
