After an historic winter, we have started to get ready for the growing season at Drew Farm. The trees are all pruned and the apple blossom buds are starting to swell. We anticipate a beautiful display of apple blossoms beginning around Mother's Day (May 10th). We will be opening the greenhouse for the 2015 season on May 2nd. Please come to Drew Farm for all of your hanging and gardening plants.
Wishing you all a safe and healthy 2015.
Looks like all systems are "go" for a fabulous 29th annual Drew Farm Pumpkin Light. The weather looks great and the goblins have been busy all week carving. The event will begin at sunset. We are expecting a big crowd this year so we ask you for your patience, as our parking is limited. It is likely that the busiest time will be between 7 and 9, so if you can come after 9 you will have less traffic to deal with. If it turns out that the parking is full, we ask that you just drive around the block and come back. Cars will be coming and going, so new parking spaces will open up constantly.
We hope you can join us!
It should be a spectacular end to a fabulous fall season at Drew Farm.
Thank you all for your business this year.
WE ARE DREW FARM

The Light begins at sunset.
