Annual Christmas Concert with the LaMothe-Gee Family
A Christmas Concert with the LaMothe-Gee Family
In the Greenhouse | The Saturday After Thanksgiving | Free and open to the community.
Before the season gets away from you — come and be still.
Join us in the warmth of our greenhouse as the LaMothe-Gee family fills the space with the gift of music. No shopping, no rushing, nothing to buy or do or plan. Just the voices and instruments of a beautifully talented local family, the gentle fragrance of the greenhouse, and the timeless story of Christmas settling over you like a gift.
We know the season carries different things for different people — joy and anticipation for some, grief and heaviness for others. There is room here for all of it. Let the music meet you where you are.
Come with family, come with friends, come alone if you need the quiet. Leave a little lighter, a little more hopeful, a little more rooted in what the season is truly about.

Pick and Praise with Pick and Share
Taste and see that the Lord is good Psalm 34:8
Link for songs: https://cedarcrest.church/wp-content/uploads/Worship-In-Song-Book-2022.pdf
He’s blessed us with abundant blueberries, and we’re gathering to celebrate together. Join us at Golden Hour for a blessed blueberry-picking experience.
Here’s how it works:
—Buckets, belts, pints, quarts at the farm stand (park by the greenhouse, brown or white barns behind the big red barn)
—Meet us up in the upper fields, across the road, follow the signs
—As you pick in the fields, musicians will lead us in song, filling the valley with praise. At the end of the evening you’ll have two choices:
—Pick and Share: Share half of your harvest and take the other half home for free
—Pick and Keep: Simply pay for what you picked.
Bring a chair if you’d like, join in the singing, and celebrate God’s goodness to share this incredible bounty and beauty with all of us in an otherwise challenging world. Whether you’re picking or just praising, you’re welcome to come and be part of this joyful gathering.
**We have two Facebook events posted, one by Jen Bailey and another by Gardenworks, facebook technicalities, don’t worry about rsvping, we’ll be praising and we look forward to your joining!
Stretching in the Fields
Join Deboarh Elizabeth for an invigorating, rejuvenating, and absolutely relaxing hour of stretching among the beauty of creation on the farm. You’ll literally hear the buzzing of the bees, the birds chirping, and probably even the laughter of kiddos running among the blueberry bushes as you inhale deeply of fresh valley air. Slow down a bit, enjoy being still, and afterwards stay to pick some of your own berries, tea, food or beautiful cut flowers. It’s nice to be real and rooted for a bit.

Blueberry Season and Berry Rewards ALL Season
The farm’s legacy berries were planted by Grandpa decades ago. They include 4 varieties of blueberries which kick off berry season around the second week of July, traditionally lasting five weeks through the second week of August. They are the largest and juiciest in the middle of the month. We have two large blueberry fields. The first one is located near our greenhouse behind the main barn, and a great space for parking. You will pass the greenhouse on your right, and head towards the white barn ahead. The berry patch will be on your left adorned with silver streamers to keep the birds away.
Our second berry patch is across the road from the farm and up above. The canoe planter will be on your right and a large white barn will be on your left. Up ahead you will hear a beautiful bubbling brook and see a hand-made wooden railing. Head up the meandering path and catch your breath, enjoy. The fields go all the way back behind the neighbor’s house, where they usually are the fullest. You may check our social media for picking conditions or call for a recording 518-854-3250.
We offer self-serve and you pick daily 7am-dark. You are invited to pick and purchase blueberries by volume (pints, quarts) through our farm stand where there is ample signage walking you through every step. On Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9am-1pm we offer our Berry Rewards, in which you may take home free blueberries if you share half of your bounty with us. Please note, this is only available when we can utilize the scales with a staff member onsite Wednesday and Saturday 8am-12noon.
