Night Owl Farm: 2024 Key Dates


Night Owl Farm
Night Owl Farm
Quick Farm/Farmer Update
I feel a little bit like I'm climbing out of hiding as I write this email. The 2023 season was an absolute whirlwind. February started off at an intense pace. The renovations on the farm stand stared, thanks to a grant we received through the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture, and renovations ALSO started on the home my husband and I purchased in Blackstone at the same time.

We bought an 1885 Victorian that needed (needs?) a lot of TLC, but is absolutely stunning. (Please ask to see pictures when you see me next! I would love to show you!) Two major renovation projects at the same time is no joke, and then I had to run our regular farming season on top of that. To say I was tired by the end of the season was an understatement!

The house still needs a lot of work (we aren't living in it quite yet), and the greenhouse needs maintenance, so I decided to take the rest of the winter to rest & regroup so we can hit the ground running for the 2024 season!

I will miss ALL of you at the winter market, but it will make our re-opening in May even better!

We have a lot in store for this year, so take a look at our upcoming key dates for what you can expect this year.
