Organic Gardening Club starting at Maple Hill Farm

Maple Hill Farm, 31 Main St. Cotuit, is starting an organic gardening club for people looking for a place to garden. The land is about 2500 sq. ft. of very good quality soil as it was once a small cow pasture and has been organically farmed in the past. The topsoil is about 18" deep. I am looking for a person with a tractor to harrow it. The land has been fallow for about ten years. My idea is to try and find folks who care about the quality of their food source and are willing to work as a group. Each person or family will have designated area of land to grow whatever they want. Please call Charles Sheehan at 508-246-1632 for details.

Seawind Meadows in Dennis is now accepting quarter and half side orders of grass fed highland beef (deposit required).  As producers under the Quality Highland Beef Program, the beef is handled and raised humanly, is of high quality with no added hormones, no anabolic steroids or sub therapeutic feed antibiotics.   All beef is processed by a  USDA facility.  You also may purchase by the individual cut at the Harwich Farmers Market (Thursdays from mid June - October) or contact the farm directly at lmmpc@verizon.net or 508 776-7150.
