New Flower Shop Opens in Holyoke

Picture
New Leaf Flower Shop is now open, in Holyoke!  It is a program run by the Center for Human Development, which helps emotionally-troubled people lead healthy lives.  The flower shop gives people meaningful work, which can be exactly the therapy they need to be healthy.  Not to mention the benefits of being around flowers and the color therapy!  We are hopeful for the success of this program!

Our very own... T-shirts!  
With Old Friends Farm logo and "Well Fed" on the back.

Every thing we grow gives us the feeling of being well fed, from the salads to the veggies to the flowers to taking care of the land and supplying our community with Organic products.  We feel that the words "Well Fed" embrace it all.  
The t-shirts are made of Organic cotton, and are screen-printed at Mantis Graphics using non-toxic ink.  We will be selling them at our Farmers Market stands.   If you are interested in buying one for a holiday gift, please email.
