April 2016
Place: Miller’s Barn - A big thank you to George and Shane Miller for letting us use their wonderful barn for our tag Sale which was a great success. This event helps us continue to earn funds to support the Newtown Scholarship Fund, speakers and other projects. We all had fun, purchased goodies and sold lots of great stuff!

Ferris Acres Farm, Newtown, CT

Charles and  Shirley Ferris shared a wonderful documentary on Ferris Acres Farm about their life and the long history of the farm.

Charles and Shirley were there to answer questions we had about their life farming.  They have received many awards and recognition through out their journey and it was a treat to have them spend some time with us at our meeting. 

Of course there was a delicious ice cream cake to eat so be sure to visit The Creamery if you ever are in Newtown  located on 144 Sugar Hill Road, Newtown, CT.
