Wellspring Farm, June 2010

On their website, Wellspring Farms gives a great little intro. They write: "Wellspring Farm has been farmed organically since the late 1980s. It was the home of one of Vermont's very first CSA farms, started by Farmer Les Snow. Prior to that, cows roamed our pasture and were milked in our historic barn. There has been one famous resident at the farm: Luvia Lafirira... She felt that our land and natural springs were a source of energy and perhaps sacred; hence our chosen moniker, Wellspring Farm. The land here is rich indeed! Since 2003, the land has been farmed by Mimi Arnstein who has been growing locally for 10 years." For photos of the mob at Wellspring, click HERE.

Jericho Settlers' Farm, May 2010

Jericho Settlers' Farm is run by Emilie, her daughter Christa, and son-in-law (Mark). Their website says: "The farm name was chosen because we live on two of the earliest settled farms in Jericho, Vermont. The farms are the Chapin Homestead settled in 1783 and the Brown Family Homestead circa 1800s. We continue the tradition of raising healthy food on small family farms."

Symphony Farm, April 2010

On April 25th a group of Mobsters arrived at Symphony Farm in Washington VT. Jonathan Falby and Meaghan Kane gave birth to this farm idea in the summer of 2009. They are "producing raw milk, grass-fed beef, savory garden products and a killer educational experience!" We helped the pair transport top soil (in 5 gallon buckets loaded into the back of Jonathan's pickup) to their new no-till garden. Mobsters sifted the soil through screens and used the rocks that were left to line the pathways. The rewards were sweet: Farm raised burgers on the porch when the work was done.
