Plum Blossoms will be here soon
The signs of Spring’s imminent arrival are starting to appear out here in Central Massachusetts, and let me tell you, it can’t come soon enough! The first harvest of the year (MAPLE!) is well underway, new baby kids and lambs are making their appearances every night, and farmers are getting busy starting seedlings, pruning, and everybody’s favorite New England tradition: Picking stones out of the field. Our Grace Note Farm foragers have been busy finding the best locally produced food to bring to you and your family. This month we have Maple Syrup from the new crop, several new varieties of cheese, as well as our staple certified organic meat and grains. Also, we’ve expanded the delivery schedule to 3 different locations on 2 days. Hopefully one of these new places/times will be convenient for you.
This order form is for the delivery on Thursday, April 21 to these two locations:
- Downtown Boston, at the Fenway Public Health building 1340 Boylston St. from 2:00 until 3:00, or
- the Cornerstone Cohousing Community, 175 Harvey Street, Cambridge from 4:15 – 6:00. Please use on-street parking, to keep the driveway clear for residents.
If you’d rather pick up your food in Waltham on Saturday, April 16, use the other order form.
Use the buttons below to put items into your shopping cart, and press the appropriate ‘Buy now’ button depending on how you want to pay.
