This coming Saturday, June 26th, from 10am to 2pm David, Cindy and Margo from Pocket Hollow Farm, Newburgh, will have a table at Farmers Fare selling oriental lillies, vintage stock, orange globe beets, parsnips, early carrots and strawberries along with a couple of surprises.

 

Pocket Hollow is a 9 acre, organic farm with 4 various beds of produce, cut flowers, and raspberries located in a valley in Newburgh, Me., a ½ hour from Belfast on the coast and 12 miles from Bangor.

 

Dave and Cindy have always gardened, they have both worked at Johnny’s Selected Seeds and have been members of MOFGA for many years. Dave’s sister Karen chuckles as she fondly recalls a time when Dave took such pride in the heat generated from his compost pile when he was just 17 yrs. old.

 

The charmingly named Pocket Hollow Farm was christened by Margo, the 7 year old daughter of Cindy and David, and the now VPres of the company. It is from one of her favorite children’s books , Toot & Puddle (written by Holly Hobbie). It is a series of stories of 2 adorable pigs that live in the fictitious Pocket Hollow in Vt. One is an adventurous pig, a world traveler. The other is more content to stay at home to run the farm and is thankful for the simpler pleasures of life. I see a little of both in myself these days.

 

“Pocket Hollow” is also very fitting as it is situated in a valley, a pocket if you will, and has a micro climate of it's own. Dvaid and Cindy attempt to extend the growing season by using row covers and high tunnels ( one layer of plastic, in affect, is comparable to moving your garden 500 miles south)and are thus able to harvest mixed greens, head lettuce and kale in March that was planted last fall by utilizing this method.

Pocket Hollow will be joining us each Saturday at the same time with produce and flowers from their farm. We will post, on our Facbeook fanpage and Village Soup, a couple of days before what they will be bringing each Saturday.

This month we will be having 2 separate presentations:
1:30pm The Sunrise Guide, Patty Montana will tell us about their mission: a resource for learning about, supporting and living in a healthy and sustainable way.
2:00pm ReVision Energy will lead a focused discussion about solar energy and will bring some real examples of solar equipment for your perusal.

Please join us to socialize, network and discuss your thoughts and ideas about the environment and bring along ideas, information, enthusiasm and a smile. Check out the Green Drinks website for more info on this fun new way to connect with like minded people in your neighbourhood!! These events are very simple and unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity.
We will also be having a solar oven demo, weather permitting.
