Breaking it down perfectly! 👏👏

Not everyone gets it at first, but that’s okay! Next time someone criticizes a small business for raising their prices- whether it’s a local restaurant, local grocer, local artist, etc - show them this to help them understand👆❤️

It’s a crazy time to be a small business- let’s support them as best as we can!

🍎 If you’ve ever snacked on the award winning c***r donuts from you know they are so popular. This summer, get out of the city and visit the original Red Apple farm in Phillipston 🚜

🫐 Blueberry and raspberry picking season has just arrived and you can keep coming back through November for all kinds of produce including peaches, apples, pumpkins, sunflowers, pears, and potatoes 🍐🎃🍑🥔

🌻 In addition to Pick Your Own produce you can enjoy wagon rides, farm animals, trails, a country store, and the new ***ry which has live music nightly and serves local beers and hard c***r 🍻🎶

🍏 The farm is currently run by Nancy & Al Rose, the 4th generation of the Rose family to do so. The family first purchased the farm in 1929 and has successfully expanded in their community ever since 💚 In addition to employing all local community members, the Rose family is dedicated to sustainability and work to “preserve the nostalgia of the farm’s idyllic setting while embracing the processes that empower us to stay sustainable and relevant.”🔋 Check out their wind turbines & solar panels that power all the buildings on the farm!

🌆 If you can’t make it out to Central Massachusetts you can always get a sampling of their products in Boston at the or Sunday Open Markets 😎 But we highly recommend enjoying the summer sunshine on the farm in Phillipston 🍎

☀️ Spend your summer exploring small businesses across Massachusetts! Check out our online directory to get some inspiration for your next weekend trip 🚗
