Kristen Eck's Friday July 18th, 2025 BumbleBee Brunch indie music playlist.

Welcome Connors Farm!

Connors Farm in Danvers supports BumbleBee Radio

I am ecstatic to welcome Connors Farm on Rte 35 in Danvers, Massachusetts as the newest sponsor of BumbleBee Brunch! As each Summer approaches, I am on the edge of my seat waiting for them to open in June. They have a fantastic selection of fresh produce grown right there, pick-your-own peaches, pick-your-own apples, and a wonderland of fun for the kids (including a working train) out back. Over the coming weeks I will be sharing photos and videos showing you all the very cool things happening there. It's all here down on the farm, Connors Farm!
