Devastating ice storm damages

This past weekend we were hit by an ice storm. Unfortunately, the wide-spread damage we did experience has greatly impacted our sugar bush, as well as our beautiful landscape. Our sugar bush consists of the Sugar Maple trees necessary for us to make Maple Syrup. There were additional damages to the heifer barn roof, a tractor, numerous fences, and some miscellaneous Farm equipment. Luckily all of our animals & staff are safe! Please consider making a donation towards healing our Farm.

It's a beautiful week to spend with PS 124!

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” 
― Charles Dickens

They're back!

"The love of children inspires an interest in the welfare of all humanity." ~James Lendall Basford

We are so happy to have the smiling faces of PS 132 back on the Farm!

Along with caring for our Farm animals, the kids are also learning about sugaring. They have been tapping trees & hanging sap buckets.

Late winter update:

As the Farm “sleeps” softly under the snow, we notice the days are getting bit longer. The sun peaks out a bit earlier each morning & sneaks away bit later each afternoon. The staff has been working on tapping the maple trees in the sugarbush, preparing for one of our favorite seasons, Sugaring Season!

What a beautiful way to start the week with our friends from Manning!

"April mixes silver rain

And golden sun to suds

To wash the scarlet petticoats

Of the little maple buds."
