At The Abbey we know the importance of community.
We are working with farmers and businesses to bring local produce and products to your tables. Spending our money locally helps enrich the local economy. Fresh, local food delivers enhanced nutrition to you and your children. Dishing up local just makes sense!
The Abbey Group is Dishing Up Local in all we do!
Harlow Farm in Westminster, Vermont is owned and operated by the two Harlow brothers and their families: Dan, who runs the farmstand, and Paul, who owns Harlow Farm. The farm has been in their family since 1918, and has been certified organic since 1985.
"We'd like to see people buy more and more of their food locally. That would bolster the local economy, and as it developed, we would have more processing and more people involved with agriculture. That would help with our long-term food security and keep our open spaces and fields, which is our town's philosophy."
- Harlow Farm
