  • Noanett Gold Sale

    Noanett Garden Club invites you to participate in its annual sale of Noanett “Gold.”

    Noanett Garden Club has become well known for the wonderful bright red bags of organic manure that come from a dairy farm in Western Massachusetts. When you purchase bags, you support the club and you also support the farm it buys them from. If you want to “buy local,” Noanett Gold is the way to go! And since many of you and your fellow gardeners have ordered before, you know how good this stuff is. The 40 pound bags are only $7.50 each – ten pounds lighter than last year but a true bargain.

    For questions, call Lin Murray at 508-785-9876, or email murrlin@aol.com.  The Noanett Gold will be ready for pick up from Friday, April 10 through April 24.
