With the promise of snow this Saturday, Howell Farm will offer horse drawn sleigh rides in addition to the regularly scheduled program, Sugar Tree Tapping.

Visitors can enjoy food and a children's craft program in the warmth of the visitor center and                                               adjoining program barn.

For more details on the Sugar Tree Tapping program visit Howell Farm's website @ www.howellfarm.com

This Groundhog Day was anxiously met by Howell Farm staff as all searched for the appearance and reckoning of our own groundhog, Bill. However Bill was decidedly on the fence and gave us no indication as to the weather forecast.

Despite Bill's lack of participation, staff enjoyed groundhog shaped cakes and cookies in his honor.

A stuffed imitation groundhog sat on a fence while an amateur roper practiced lassoing on his lunch break.

(No groundhogs were hurt or disturbed during this practice)

Carpenter Ian Ferry continues work on the box stalls for our one cow Molly and retired horse Blaze. The partitions have been constructed and all the floor boards have been laid.
