Bruce Bickford
Bruce Bickford, owner of Abenaki Springs Farm,
in Walpole, has been farming for over 20 years and
has been a Farmers’ Market of Keene vendor for 14
years. He considers the market an extension of the
farm. The farm features 11 acres and four greenhouses
to ensure production through three seasons.
At the market, he provides a wide variety of fresh
produce that is just hours to minutes old. “The farmers’ market is a convenient spot for those wanting

very dry sand or slightly wet wood
chips. Cut off their tops leaving about
an inch. Lay them in the sun for 20 minutes, then flip them over for another 20

wood chips or sand on the bottom of a
five gallon bucket. Arrange the beets or
carrots on this layer, not touching one
another. Cover with chips or sand and
repeat. Repeat until the bucket is full
ending with a layer of sand or chips.

If done properly, beets and carrots
(or turnips) can last until next July. Pota-

be planted in April so that’s when they

able to keep on doing what they are so
wonderfully doing.
Celeste and Bob Longacre have been
living sustainably for almost 40 years.
Her book, “Celeste’s Garden Delights”
details exactly how to do this and is
available at many local businesses.
Celeste is also looking for venues to do
kvass demos.
