We have approximately 25 acres of fields in West Brookfield, near Route 12, and we're looking for someone to hay the fields at least once, up to three times, a year. We've had three different farmers help us out over the last eight years, but none of them are available any longer. We applied dolomitic lime and organic fertilizer three years ago, and the fields have been hayed only once since. No non-organic substance has been used on the fields since at least fall of 2017 when we purchased the farm. In return for doing the haying, you'll receive all of the hay the first year, with terms negotiable for subsequent years.
Join Katie Cameron of Cry Baby Clay for a terracotta pinch pot workshop. Hand sculpt your own custom terracotta planter in this 1.5 hour session.

The firing of your one of a kind terracotta pot is included in the workshop price, and your project will become available for pickup at Red Wagon Plants about 3 weeks after the workshop date.

About Baird Farm
Baird Farm is a fourth-generation small family farm that produces organic Vermont maple syrup and other maple products. The farm has been in the family for 100 + years. The Baird’s tap 14,500 maple trees with a modern tubing system that is plumbed directly to their sugarhouse. Baird Farm has a large direct-to-consumer market for the majority of their maple syrup. About half of the syrup leaves the farm with tourists and locals that stop by to purchase directly and the other half gets shipped direct to consumers (additionally some syrup goes to restaurants and other wholesale accounts). Educational farm tours are offered year-round as a way to share the operation and maple sugaring with folks visiting Vermont. Please visit www.bairdfarm.com or find us @bairdfarm on Instagram and Facebook for more information about the farm.

In this workshop, participants will gain a solid understanding of tractor engines, including key systems, parts, and daily fluid checks. We’ll explore how the entire tractor functions—from the hydraulic system and transmission to the clutch and PTO—and cover the basics of troubleshooting and servicing. Participants will also learn about common implements, their attachment, and maintenance. Safety will be a central focus, with guidance on reducing tractor-related accidents.
