Thank You
The Mello and Day family of Oak Shade Farm would like to thank everyone who came out to Rixeyville to see us this season. It was a pleasure to see old and new faces enjoying the farm that is our home the rest of the year.
To that end, we would also like to say thank you for respecting the grounds. We are very grateful to have such kind and considerate visitors, which is probably the greatest perk of operating a small business like ours. Our policy continues to be: if you visited us in the past 2 years, you will receive a flyer or email invitation the following winter. Otherwise, good luck finding us! We cherish our smallness and the people who make the annual pilgrimage to our bonfire and bunnies. Of course, we welcome drop-ins and new guests but we do not advertise, except for this website. Speaking of which…
We will be updating content on the website much more regularly this year and we will be reworking some features and trimming some others. We hope for this site to be a window to our friends and guests into the seasons of our small farm, primarily in the form of informational posts but with the occasional sprinkle of farm philosophy. We have some great things planned for the year ahead, so we hope you will check back in with us, either through this site or at the farmer’s market.
Also, if you have a question for Jim or Sally, the best way to reach them is through email. Their address is oakshadefarm@gmail.com.
So, thank you, again, on behalf of everyone here. We hope one of our trees brightened your home this winter.

I was there with my wife,2 daughters and my 2 grand kids and just wanted to let you know we had the best time. We bought 2 trees and some jelly and other things. The people were so nice and made us feel at home. We walked around and saw the cabin and 375 year old tree. The view was spectacular. Just wanted to say thank you and will see you next year.
