Let thy growing hours be strong
To set right some wintry wrong."

"March is blustery and boisterous,
Never quiet nor inert,
Swaggers in and out with gusto—
March is just an extravert."
~Thelma Ireland
The milking herd is out on grass! And they are “udderly” delighted!
Be happy, and a reason will come along. ~Robert Brault
In anticipation of students returning to the farm soon, the farm staff’s kids are helping with some hand-milking lessons.
We want to honor our hard working girls!

We are easing back into having students at the Farm, with the help of our friends at the local Summer SOAK program. I can not express just how amazingly-wonderful it feels to have children back! The animals were as tentative as the students, and a lovely morning was had by all.
We have waited for Spring to return & it seems to finally be here! There are buds on the apple & peach trees, the lilacs & hydrangeas. The birds are nesting, & when close you can hear tiny, hungry peeps from within.
We are so excited to be working with two local organizations to bring children back to the farm, for some daytime adventures, this Summer. And, we are very optimistic that by next Fall, we may be able to have students safely return to the Farms for City Kids Program.
Finally, we are ready to offer scheduled farm tours. Farm tours are available by appointment only, Monday-Friday, between the hours or 9:30 a.m. & 2:00 p.m. Please call Tatiana @ 802-484-1236 x200, or email: office@sbfvt.org to schedule your visit to the Farm. Masks will be required.
Have fun! Be well, be safe!
It is the first mild day of March:
Each minute sweeter than before...

“February is merely as long as is needed to pass the time until March.” ~J.R. Stockton
The sun has been heating things up on the hill. I think we are entering false Spring, which comes just before 1st mud season, and is lovingly known as Sugaring Season!
Eunice is officially a cow, as she has welcomed her 1st calf, Emma to the herd! 🥰
You can’t celebrate pancakes without celebrating Maple Syrup! This week our farmers have been in the Sugar bush, getting the taps ready for the upcoming Sugaring season. Click here to see our video about tapping maple trees.
“The past is behind us — love is in front and all around us.” ~Terri Guillemets
“Out of the bosom of the Air,
Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow”.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
