Ice Harvest Scheduled for January 25!

With the cold temperatures, we have enough ice on the pond that we can schedule our harvest for Saturday, January 25, from 10am-3pm. More details about the harvest will be available soon.

Instead of setting a date months in advance, we are going to watch the ice and weather to schedule a day (or set of days) as we have a better idea of when ice harvesting will be possible. We will do our best to provide as much advance notice as ice conditions and weather forecasts allow.

Admission is by donation rather than our usual rates.

• We are not having a soup sale this year. You are welcome to bring lunch and snacks to eat on the site. Hot beverages will be available in the Learning Lab.
• Vendors will include:
  • Blue Merle Apiaries will sell honey and honey by-products.
  • Byebrook Farm will sell Farmstead Gouda cheese.
  • Union Grove Distillery will sell their products.

We are currently planning for a public ice harvest, which means that visitors will be able to join us on the pond to cut ice blocks! We will announce any changes to this plan if ice conditions change unexpectedly.
