VENDOR SPOTLIGHT
🧅✨️ Holderby Family Gardens ✨️🧄🥬
Ron started Holderby Family Gardens a few years after he officially retired from his full time job.
After sitting around for a few months, transitioning into the retirement life, he realized he needed something to do. He volunteered at a local farm for 5 days a week, learning gardening techniques, plant requirements, soil amendments, all the things that make him the gardening genius he is today. After volunteering for a few years, he decided to put his knowledge to the test. And Holderby Family Gardens was born.
With gardening his own land for over 10 years, and growing produce on over half an acre of their property, it is safe to say that Ron and his wife Anitra try to have the best greens, root veggies, and seasonal produce available for you.
Lettuce, onions, kale, kolorabi, okra, tomatoes, peppers of all kinds, garlic, carrots, cabbage, beets, radishes, squash, zucchini, and more.... everything is grown on the farm by Ron. You can tell just by his produce that he genuinely loves what he does.
We asked him his favorite part, and he said growing the plants and harvesting the produce is his passion, but the real treat is interacting with all his customers, regular and new.
His tips are as follows:
🌱 If you plant something and maybe it doesn't grow, dont give up. Maybe add a little more compost, read some books, keep trying until you find what works for you.
🌱 Don't be afraid to ask questions because we would love to share what works for us or what might help you.
Holderby's are at Fair Grove market on Wednesdays, but you can see them here in Marshfield every Friday from 2:30pm-6:30pm at our Farmers Market. We are very grateful to have him and his family at our market.
So be sure to come out and grab some veggies and maybe get some pointers from Ron this week!
We can't wait to see you at the Farmers' Market! 👩🌾🧑🌾
