It’s time for another #LocalHeroSpotlight on the Fabulous 413! Listen using the link above.
This week, Monte and Kaliis visit Dickinson Farm in Granby, where they walk pick-your-own strawberry fields and learn about the farm’s wholesale relationship with Market Basket.
Fun fact: the Granby land where Dickinson farm sits was a gift by an English king to the Dickinson family in the new world. The family was directly related to Emily Dickinson, the belle of Amherst. With that in mind, here’s a poem:
The Products of my Farm are these by Emily Dickinson
The Products of my Farm are these
Sufficient for my Own
And here and there a Benefit
Unto a Neighbor’s Bin.
Sufficient for my Own
And here and there a Benefit
Unto a Neighbor’s Bin.
With Us, ’tis Harvest all the Year
For when the Frosts begin
We just reverse the Zodiac
And fetch the Acres in.
For when the Frosts begin
We just reverse the Zodiac
And fetch the Acres in.
