If you attended the Open House at the
Farm,
if you bought a raffle ticket,
if you gave us a donation,
WE THANK YOU!!
Looking out over the pasture
and corn field toward the wooded lots proposed for conservation
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful fall day for the
Open House, even though it was a little windy, the leaf colors
were spectacular.
A large crowd of people attended the Open House and learned
about the farm's conservation easement, visited the animals
and farm museum, checked out the trail, took a horse or tractor
drawn hay ride, shopped at the Farm Store, bought a pumpkin,
made a donation and enjoyed a delicious lunch. We
thank you for coming out to support the farm and enjoying
the day!
