Today’s the day

Our farm stand in the late evening.

Come on down today for the ribbon cutting at our new stand at 9 a.m.

Our store will open for all immediately after the ribbon cutting.

When you are here, make sure to take a look at our weathervane, sitting atop the farm stand.

It’s an image of a Minuteman farmer with a musket and plow, and was hand crafted by Steve Verrill.

We hope to see you soon!

Kitchen crew hard at work

Our kitchen crew is hard at work in our new kitchen getting ready for tomorrow’s opening at 9 a.m.

Come down and join us for our ribbon cutting at 9 a.m. and see our new store.

New store opens Friday, 9 a.m!

We’d like to invite each and every one of you to join us this Friday, Sept. 18 at 9 a.m. for our ribbon cutting ceremony that will officially open our new farm stand!

It was a year ago that a fire destroyed our Wheeler Road farm stand. We’ve been working hard since that time to build a beautiful store that would hold true to the Verrill Farm mission statement, namely “…to nourish the body and soul of our customers by providing healthful food of superb flavor in surroundings of beauty.”

The last year sure has had it’s challenges, but we would never have made it to this point without the support of all of you in our Verrill Farm extended family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

In order to prepare for our opening on Friday, our store will close at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17. We will be open under our awning in front of our temporary stand, selling corn, tomatoes and BBQ dinners until 6 p.m. We will only be able to accept cash sales.

We couldn’t be happier about the opening of our new store, and look forward to seeing you on Friday!
