here at the farm, but our farm animals don't seem to mind a bit. Our superstar farm volunteer, Ann Antonellis, has been here every week to help us take care of them and shoot some fabulous pictures of the winter beauty as well. All photos in this post are hers! Check down at the bottom for some of my recent favorites. 


We've recently teamed up with the Weymouth Food Pantry and agreed to supply them with some fresh, delicious produce this summer. Starting in June, we'll be using some of the donations to the Food Access Fund to support a new program at the Food Pantry. Under this new model the Food Pantry Manager will be specifically ordering produce from Weir River in quantities that ensure that there's enough produce for

every Food Pantry bag. And she'll be able to choose produce that complements other items in the bag that week. While we'll still be donating leftovers, extras, and orphaned CSA shares to Father Bill's/Mainspring and the Greater Boston Food Bank, this new aspect of the Food Access Fund will allow for some planned, sufficient, and reliable donations for the Weymouth Food Pantry. If you like to support this work, you can donate to the Food Access Fund on the CSA share signup page--Thank you!


Keep warm and remember that spring will be here soon!
