The farm shop is open for business as usual! We are open every day, from 7am to 9pm. We are experiencing a huge increase in business right now - great to see all the new faces, and we hope you keep coming back! The farm shop is self-serve, and we accept cash and checks (good ones! - with a phone number!). Unfortunately, we do not take credit cards at this time - Hawley is a little behind the times on internet, and we can’t support a card reader yet. They promise us it will be soon!
We are making yogurt and bottling milk as fast as we can these last couple of weeks! Apparently, no one told the cows that demand for yogurt and milk was suddenly going to double, so we are making as much as the cows can supply. The cows make milk twice a day, so there is no danger of running out of milk in the big picture. However, since we have been experiencing such high demand, we do occasionally run out of milk in the farm shop between milkings. It will be back within 24 hours! We are happy to set aside pre-orders of milk Monday through Friday, with 24 hours notice . (Sorry - we can’t accept pre-orders over the weekend - the business office is closed).
We’ve also been getting lots of calls from folks in the Boston area asking if we’ve stopped making yogurt. We’re still making it - folks are just buying it all out really quickly! We are making it as fast as we can! We are shipping yogurt to Boston area stores every week, and new deliveries should be arriving in stores soon, so keep looking at your usual sources - it will get there!
Thank you to everyone for all the safety precautions we are seeing in the farm shop - gloves, masks, social distancing. We really appreciate your concern. Please know that we are sanitizing all surfaces and handles frequently, and taking every precaution we can ourselves. Thank you for supporting local farms - we can get through this if we all keep working together!
