Fresh philosophy

Schoolhouse Farms and Borodino Market give new meaning to the term “family farm.” On the day I came to visit, four children met me at the car and escorted me into the historic one-room schoolhouse that is now a delightful gourmet/specialty food market.

There the children comfortably assumed positions behind the sales counter, as if they ran the place; which, in fact, they do.

Finan, 12, Morel, 10, Brahm, 8, and Beryl, 3, are the children of farmers Rebecca and Richard Muir-Malcolm. The Muir-Malcolms started the farm 10 years ago, and the store two years ago, with a commitment to offering customers something unusual, healthy and delicious while also creating an educational family project.
