Hi & Welcome!
Hathaway Farm & Corn Maze

If you like a CHALLENGE, like ADVENTURE & like the OUTDOORS then you definately need to come check out this year's "FOOD FOR THOUGHT" CORN MAZE at Hathaway Farm! We are planning to open our 2010 Maze on July 31st & will run through October 31st. We have a HUGE Maze for you to conquer, the largest in Vermont, & we are so excited about the theme this year since it's all about buying local & eating clean. I think we've managed to give you a really fun way to explore this TREMENDOUS LOCAL MOVEMENT all the while having you Lost...Laughin'...& LOVIN' IT! Click here for more Corn Maze info...

So, What’s New on the Farm?

(Oops! I sent out the winning tickets on Monday, but forgot to post the results on the site till now.......sorry!) What I'm talking about is that on Saturday, June 19th, we were exhibitors at the Fair Haven Welcome Center Open House that showcased many Vermont businesses. We met TONS of great people, gave away LOADS of beef samples & also had a drawing for FREE TICKETS to our Maze! We had a total of 74 names in our Treasure Chest at the end of the day & 5 names were drawn. The winners each won an Adult Admission Pass for the 2010 season at the Farm. The winners were:  Tanya Tredwell from Bomoseen, Krista Crossman from Castleton, Michelle Lavin from Fair Haven, Ernie DeMatties from Poultney & Barbara Carlson from Fair Haven. CONGRATS to all the winners!!!

 The Corn Maze this year I think is the BEST EVER! It's VERY challenging with a whole new "feel". We also have some new attractions at the Farm including DUCK RACING (not just for kids) & MOVIES playing in the barn.

Out in the Livestock Barn, we are THRILLED about our 3 new little lambs born this spring that will be staying & adding to our little Babydoll Southdown flock. At my husbands request, I have reluctantly agreed to sell next years lambs so we don't have too many sheep on the farm (it doesn't look good for a cattlemans reputation), although he HAS admitted to liking them! We've had lots of baby calves this year & they are doing really well. They are out on summer pasture now with their moms & growing like weeds! We did have to say our final goodbyes to Rooster Cogburn this winter. He was my 35 year old Quarter Horse who had been enjoying his retirement here on the Farm for many years. He was a truly great horse with many unique quirks & just had such a warm personality. We miss him alot!

We are going to attempt to build a real FIRE PIT in July for everyone to enjoy this season. Our little one just doesn't quite cut it any more. We planted lots of sweet corn this year so if we have any kind of decent growing season at all, we should have lots of  SWEET CORN for sale both to take home with you & all ready for you to eat at The Grill along with our very popular HATHAWAY BURGERS.

Speaking of Hathaway Burgers, our retail beef sales are really increasing as word gets out that we are selling our beef year round both here at the Farm 7 days a week & also at the Vermont Farmer's Market here in downtown Rutland every Saturday. We sell our beef by the individual cut, by the side or as a whole beef & it is all cryovac packed & frozen fresh. The very latest is that we are now offering  CSA Membership's allowing you to buy an assortment of our beef once a month & SAVE. As a CSA Member you also receive discounts on all our maple products.

It's not looking like our Farmstay will be ready by September. We have it partly redone, but now that we are into our really busy season I doubt whether we'll get it finished much before the end of the year or beginning of next year. We are really excited about being able to offer the Farmstay opportunity to people though so we're a little bummed we couldn't get it all done yet, but we will & we'll keep ya posted!

Well those are some of the latest things going on here right now. When you get a minute, be sure to check out our blog:  http://hathawayfarm.blogspot.com
