We’re feeling the pulse of the peepers up here in the upper watershed of the Broad Brook. The drip drop of sap is pooling in buckets along the Turnpike, levitating out of Birch trees in concert with the Spring Surge. And Oh! what a surge this spring has sprung. As we rise from the ashes of our equinoctial farmhouse fire, we’re dancing with new beginnings.

Warmed by the north-rising sun, the ground is finally beginning to shed winter’s melt from its bosom, welcoming the mélange of wild, waking seeds. While our young apple and pear trees are budding a promising inaugural fruit set, we’re busy grafting and transplanting perry and cider varietals to join the fleet for future harvests. The ring of elder apple trees rooted as century-old totems on our farm, have received their restorative pruning for the year, some of which were adapted with top-grafts of new varietals in their canopy. Schizandra seeds are slowly waking in pots we left out to endure the freeze thaw cycle of Winter’s end, the berries of which we’re excited to fold into our fermentory recipes for their incredible medicinal and five flavor attributes. Cuttings of elderberry, currant, seaberry and quince too are coming into being, as we tend our path towards a perennial landscape of fruit for future wines, tonics, and vinegars.

As we get ready to bottle last season’s birch sap mead, we’re procuring this year’s expression, blending freshly gleaned birch sap with golden honey from McFarline Apiary. Our wine cave currently sits as a place of incredible abundance, unaffected by the extreme temperature fluctuations of a waking landscape above; apple, honey, and grape wines aging in barrel, bottle, tank, and demijohn, wait patiently for their journey back to the light-filled glass. As our farm and fermentory flow in stride with seasonal rhythms, our markets are beginning to broaden. We’ve recently sent out a new fleet of apple wines around the state, while also reaching outside of Vermont borders for the first time, linking up with niche distributors of living wine. To this end, we’re discovering the need to begin bottling larger blends, and have been scheming and gearing up for our spring-time bottling spree. We’re primed and excited to begin increasing the flow of bottles out of the fermentory, sharing the fruits of our labor with the world.

We’re excited to announce the season’s schedule of tasting events at our new fermentory gathering space on the farm.

We’ll be hosting a series of small plate wine sampling gatherings and family style wine based dinners. Ingredients for our food offerings are primarily sourced from Feast and Field member farms. We look forward to these opportunities for friends and community to join us in the fermentory for nourishment and merriment. See calendar for the schedule of events and look for invites as the season carries on.

In addition to these wine and cider based events at the fermentory, we will also be pouring our ferments at a number of special events throughout the season. Chloe Powell has been working hard designing an exciting events schedule for this summer, including a mini-festival and a couple of other weekend performances. Edythe Wright is curating an eight artist sculpture show for the farm, The Royal Frog Ballet is coming back at the end of September, and the summer Feast & Field markets are just a month away!

Don't forget to sign up for your summer vegetable share with our partners at Heartwood Farm! It's really a no brainer for most folks, as the framework allows you to pay what you want and take what you want.

We’re budding with excitement to share in the many fabled festivities on the horizon this season. May we gather to bring art to life, and relish in the simple act of gratitude for the bounty of this Good Earth.

Many Blessings & Happy Spring!

With Love and Gratitude,

Fable Farm Family
