Winter Famers Market
We will be having our Farmers Market the Saturday after Christmas, so make sure you make it and bring your friends and family!
Get ready for the New Year with a visit to the Green Market at Trader’s Point Creamery. We’ll have a slightly smaller group this week, as many of our vendors will be out of town visiting family. That means you had better get here early to grab all the delicious goodies for sale this week! Bring your holiday cheer, and we’ll bring the wonderful local food and art! We can’t WAIT to see you on Saturday!

Winter Poem
| Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening |
 |
| by Robert Frost (1923) |
 |
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep. |
