FARMINGTON — Come July, beer lovers will have a new place to sit outside and enjoy a pint.
Selectmen on Tuesday night approved a new liquor license for Sandy Hill Farm LLC, doing business as The Farmhouse Beer Garden, 926 Farmington Falls Road.
Owner Keeley Valverde said she is excited.
“It’s a weird time obviously. The COVID-19 is a super strange time to start a new business,” she said. “I wanted to do this prior to COVID, had already gotten verbal approval before everything happened. I figured I’m just going to move ahead.”
A lot of work has been done outside, Valverde said.

“It’s more a family experience I’m going for,” she said.
