Framingham Farm Offering Groundhog Day Special

FRAMINGHAM, MA — You might be looking forward to spring after the weekend blizzard. Punxsutawney Phil will be, too.

Groundhog Day 2022 is on Wednesday, and to help celebrate the (possible) early spring, Hanson's Farm in Framingham is offering a holiday special.

“The number one thing on our minds here at the farm is wondering when spring will arrive,” owner Tom Hanson said. “Legend tells us that if the groundhog does not see its shadow, there will be an early spring.”

Anyone who signs up for Hanson's community-supported agriculture (CSA) service will get $25 off and a free flower CSA share. Sign up on the Hanson's website, or email hansonsfarm@gmail.com.

On Wednesday morning, Punxsutawney Phil will emerge from his burrow. If it's a sunny day and Phil sees his shadow, that means six more weeks of winter. A cloudy day and no shadow means an early spring.
