Friends of the Farm
An online Almanac of BlackBerry Farm News & Notes
On behalf of everyone here at Blackberry, I'd like to be the first to welcome you to Friends of the Farm. We’re so excited to share this new opportunity with you, and we hope you’ll check back often. There’s always something happening here on the farm, and with Friends of the Farm, you won’t have to miss anything between visits. You’ll hear from all your favorite members of our team, and we’ll let you know about special events and offers before anybody else. So thanks for stopping by, and we hope you’ll make it a habit. I invite you to explore the site, stay connected and, most importantly, enjoy being a Friend of the Farm!
Best,
Sam Beall, Proprietor

Farm for Thought:
-
The Larder at Blackberry Farm houses the Creamery, Preservation Kitchen, and Charcuterie.
-
The Laurel Dining Room in the Main House used to be a screened in porch when the home was originally built. When you walk into the Laurel Dining Room for breakfast, you will notice the original stone flooring from the porch.
-
All crops harvested in the Garden are from heirloom seeds without the use of chemical pesticides and commercial fertilizers.
-
The truffle puppy litter has grown! We now have 6 Italian Lagotto truffle dogs living at Blackberry (Tom, Lucci, Rolla, Lea, Bruno and Rico), with more expected this summer. With Truffle Season beginning this month and lasting through February, our truffle dogs have an exciting winter ahead of them!
