Abundance Acres was a buzz last week during a three-day event, hosting area youth in an outdoor adventure camp. Campers made crafts, practiced archery, played fields games and spent a night camping in the cabins. Hope you can join next year!

Greenhouse Raising
Just like the old ‘barn raisings’ the community came together to help us lift 13 arches in place to construct our replacement 30’x50’ greenhouse that collapsed under the sudden 40” of snow that dumped during one storm this winter. While all is not yet complete having the arches in place gets us well on the…
Snow Shoe Hike 2020
On a frigid evening in February just a few days before the full moon Abundance Acres hosted its second snow shoe hike. The trails were lined with log torches and the pavilion warmed the returning snowshoers with cider, hot chocolate and a fire. What a beautiful way to spend a winter evening!
Harvest Celebration
Abundance Acres held its Annual Harvest Celebration in October. What a hit this year! We had an exceptional turnout and a great amount of volunteers who helped run the many booths. Booths offered pumpkin carving, pumpkin painting, leaf prints, face painting, cider pressing, a scavenger hunt, water slide, pumpkin bowling, roasted corn on the cob,…

New Greenhouse!
We are super excited to announce that the grant for our new greenhouse finally went through, we purchased a 30×48 greenhouse from PA and the bulk of the frame is already up! Waiting for the greenhouse really delayed the planting of our tomatoes…but despite the delay they are growing nicely under the new frame. We…

The Wednesday Family Fun Nights have been a great success and have brought a new group of families and kids to the farm. Two beautiful picnic tables, an impressive fire pit and even a volley ball court spruce up the meeting area. Each night we have a small meal, a camp fire, play some group…
Sweet Season
This winter has proven a strange one for sure, but as happens each year, the soil begins to thaw and the trees begin to come alive again. A week ago we tapped out the sugar bush (300-350 taps). Since then we have only collected 3 times, but are hoping for some good sugaring weather next…
Potatoes – One to Another
This year we had the opportunity to play surrogate mother to about 20 lbs of potatoes from the Chester-Andover Family Center. In August volunteers from the Family Center joined us for the harvest. The volunteers returned to the center with 120 lbs of farm fresh potatoes!
First Annual Harvest Potluck
Sunday, October 5th, we celebrated our first annual Harvest Potluck. Shareholders, Board Members and “Share the Share” recipients all gathered at Abundance Acres to share food, fellowship and good conversation. Although the temperature was brisk, the blue sky and sunlit foliage provided a picturesque backdrop for this event. Please enjoy a few pictures from our…
