Sprout Farm Newsletter Nov. 22nd 2025 sproutfarm.net open 9-4 daily until Thanksgiving

Hello Everyone.

What happened to all that beautiful daylight? I feel like I should be getting ready to hibernate. There's a brief flurry of activity around the upcoming holidays and then the winter days stretch out into long quiet weeks. I like this rhythm, and Jay gets a lot more sleep but come February, when the sun sets after 5:00 pm, we start to stir. The greenhouses have been set up with trays and pots just waiting for the new shipments but let them stay there for a while. Jay will keep the wood in the stove and the snow blower ready to tackle any Nor'easter that threatens our peace. We don't see any travel in our future so it's a good thing we enjoy staying home.

Jay wants you to know what's left as we close for the season Wednesday at 4:00. We have a couple of days' worth of carrots, a few turnips (no Eastham), Lots of HONEY- even the big 5-pound jars so stock up, fresh cranberries, a few dried sweetened cranberries, apples, some squash, tomatoes, beets, micro-greens, and cider. We are out of jam and syrup.

We wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas. Spring will be here before you know it.

I have just enough energy to do some winter cores and our friends at Mahoney's have a nice page on their website about care for your garden in winter. We specialize on plants that die back to the ground so that makes our chores easy. In late winter we'll pull those weeds that got way out of control because their roots will have lost their grip in the winter freeze. The good advice to clean and store tools for the winter should include- find, clean and store tools for the winter. https://mahoneysgarden.com/getting-your-garden-cozy-for-winter-a-new-england-guide/

The kitten report: As I type, Wheezie is singing in the living room calling us to admire her latest kill, a mouse or a small rat. Jay is explaining the difference in the shape of the head. That's one of those trivia things I do not need to know. Like how can you tell if a chicken is a good layer or is she taking her two-month rest? That involves gloves and feeling up the back end of the chicken. Hey, you never know when a skill like that will be important. We raised chickens in the past, but I do not see them in our future.

It is hard to believe this is the last newsletter of the year, but I am very hard pressed to say anything useful, so this is a good time to stop. Come by and see what we have in these final 4 days. It has been a good year, and we have enjoyed your business and your friendship. We're keeping it local and we'll see you in the new year.

Jay and Phyllis Sprout

Just wanted to remind everyone that next week, Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance and Americans for Prosperity invite you to a timely and impactful free event with nationally renowned energy expert, Robert Bryce:

🔌 Energy Reality Check: A Town Hall with Robert Bryce
📅 Thursday, June 26, 2025
🕕 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
📍 Downtown Boston (Exact location provided upon RSVP)
💵 *No cost to attend – RSVP required

We’ll power up the conversation with great company, sharp insights, and a few summer refreshments!

At the center of it all is our featured speaker, Robert Bryce — author, journalist, and host of the Power Hungry Podcast. He’s one of America’s most respected voices on energy, power reliability, and the consequences of the harmful and costly climate-driven energy mandates.

Bryce is the author of six books, producer of the acclaimed documentary Juice: How Electricity Explains the World, and a fierce advocate for common-sense energy policy grounded in affordability, resilience, and realism.

With Massachusetts lawmakers and the Governor pushing increasingly sweeping climate mandates, this event asks the big questions: How feasible are these plans? Are we putting ideology ahead of affordability and reliability?

The town hall will start at 6:00 p.m. and there will be a cocktail hour until 7:00 p.m. After Robert speaks at 7:00 p.m., there will be a panel of regional leaders as we examine the real-world consequences of activist-driven energy planning, what other states are doing differently, and what Beacon Hill needs to hear from taxpayers.

Panel Discussion with Robert Bryce Featuring:

Paul Craney, Executive Director, MassFiscal
Ross Connolly, Northeast Regional Director, AFP
State Rep. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica)
Mike Urban, As seen on social media and host of the Mike Urban Show
Jack Gately, As seen on social media and creator of MassLiveUturn.com
Jessica Machado, As seen on social media, influential independent journalist

📩 RSVP is required – Please email Paul Gangi at pfgangi@massfiscal.org to reserve your spot.

The Town Hall event will take place in downtown Boston and the exact location will be shared upon RSVP.

Parking options will be provided. Dinner is not included but heavy hors d’oeuvres will be served and there will be a cash bar. This event is free to baseload hydrocarbon enthusiasts!

This is more than a town hall—it’s a wake-up call for Massachusetts taxpayers and energy consumers.

Event sponsorship opportunities are available. If you would like to learn more about becoming a sponsor to this event, and being recognized as a sponsor at the event, please reach out to Paul Craney at: paul@massfiscal.org to learn more.
