“When you appreciate and preserve the ordinary as well as the exceptional,
you fill in the full spectrum of History.” Mark L. Walsh
Farm welcomes two new members to animal family
The farm recently adopted two horses
from a small horse rescue organization.
Both are quarter horses from Oregon
where their previous owners just got too
elderly to be able to care for them anymore. We are delighted to be able to
take over their care and give them a nice
home. Lakota (pictured on the right) is a
20 year old gelding, and Brave (pictured
left) is a 25 year old mare. Both have
great dispositions and seem to enjoy interacting with the public. The pair made
lots of friends during pumpkin season
last fall. The school children especially
were excited about the new additions.
Country Life Fair back again

We will be hosting our third annual Country
Life Fair and Herb and Plant Sale once
