Stonewood Farm Turkeys: Last year’s feedback on our fresh turkeys from Stonewood Farm in Vermont was so positive that we are offering them again this year. They range in size from 10 – 30 lbs. and are $3.49/lb. We also have Stonewood Farm frozen turkey breasts weighing 2 to 4 lbs.
Stonewood Farm specializes in premium quality turkeys with superior flavor and juiciness. The turkeys are naturally grown, using no antibiotics or growth hormones, with plenty of fresh Vermont air, cool nights, green pastures, good feed and tender loving care.
Pies & Savory Side Dishes: Our menu of prepared sides boasts a tasty selection of homemade Thanksgiving favorites like cranberry sauce, gravy and stuffing, as well as several vegetable dishes. For dessert, choose from among our award-winning pies, including apple with crumb topping, pumpkin and pecan. We also offer pumpkin cheesecake and a pumpkin-apple loaf bread.

Our farm stand has arrived
Wednesday, October 22, 2008, 9:02 pmExcept for the week immediately following our Sept. 20 fire, we’ve certainly been blessed with nice weather during our outdoor operations from our wagon. We’re thankful for all the support we’ve received from all of you during this time.
We’re THRILLED to report though, that we’ll soon be moving indoors (can you say warmth?) into our temporary farm stand. Our temporary stand has arrived on site, and workers have been busy getting the structures ready for us. We’ll be able to offer much more in the area of produce, baked items, breads, milk, etc., and even have plans for our deli to return soon. We’re going to work hard to get our stand back to as “normal” as possible.
As the weather turns colder, our temporary stand couldn’t have arrived at a better time. We were getting ready to begin a “Bring in a hand warmer, get a free muffin” promotion!
Keep your eyes peeled for more news on our progress.
