Beautiful weather shown on a weeks of LINKS programs. LINKS partners the Cider Mill fourth grade classes and classes from schools in Norwalk and Bridgeport. Over the year these partnering classes do special things together, one of which is a day at Ambler Farm. At the farm the children make cornbread, plant in the garden, learn about the art of stone walls and try their hand at painting a watercolor landscape, and finally play some old-fashioned games.
Our new bee hives were set up and hopefully will thrive this year and yield some honey. These colonies benefit from last year's workers who create honeycombs, all they need to do now is make honey.
The lambs arrived - Nutmeg and Clover - two males, one black and one brown. They were born at Millstone Farm in Wilton and came to Ambler when they were just a week old. They've been bottled feed several times a day every day since their arrival and have already grown a little bit in the short time they've been at the farm.
The farm stand has opened with a variety of transplants as well as greens and herbs for purchase. And soon tasty vegetables will be available.
Finally, the Apprentices represented Ambler Farm in the Memorial Day parade - check out the photos.
