NEPM: Preservation Orchard & Farm
_
Claire takes Monte and Kaliis to meet Ava Blum-Carr of Preservation Orchard and Farm and her mom, Nicole Blum of Carr’s Ciderhouse, to talk about:
- Sharing land between their two businesses AND a third – Meadowfed Lamb
- Climate resilience by keeping it simple – growing what grows well naturally (like nut trees), or doesn’t care about crazy weather shifts (like hardy varieties of tomatoes, apples and more)
- The Carr’s Ciderhouse farm shop and cider garden at 295 River Dr. in Hadley, where you can buy the fruits of their labor and even enjoy a crisp local cider (and sometimes snacks) in this beautiful spot!
Visit the farm shop any day from 10-6, and the cider garden Fridays 3-7 and weekends 1-7.
