Holden Lake Farm 2024 Season in Review

As we wrap up another incredible year, we are filled with gratitude and excitement for everything we’ve accomplished together. 2024 has been a transformative year at Holden Lake Farm, and we couldn’t have done it without your continued support and enthusiasm. Here’s a look back at some of the highlights:

Horticultural Insights with Dirk Meyer

This year, Dirk Meyer, our in-house horticulturalist, continued to share his vast knowledge with us. His engaging talks, filled with humor and wisdom, have become a favorite among our community. Dirk’s insights have helped many of you cultivate beautiful and thriving gardens, and we look forward to more of his wisdom in the coming year.
