Happy official Spring from the barn!🌱🌸🌞 Happy official Spring from the barn!🌱🌸🌞 While some piles of snow and plenty of mud adorn the farm, warmer, sunnier days are on their way and we can all feel it! This sweet baby boy was born last week to Athena, a heifer and first time dairy cow. We have decided not to keep this calf but are excited that he will grow up with our friends at the Hancock Shaker Village. He will be a great fit there as he is a curious and strong calf who will enjoy the company of other animals and visitors! #cowednesday
As we approach the end of March, more signs of spr As we approach the end of March, more signs of spring accumulate in the landscape. One tree species, whose flowers are among some of the first to burst open, is the Silver Maple. The male and female reproductive parts in this species are on separate flowers within an individual tree. The male flowers have long, green stamens which hold the pollen, and the female flowers are smaller, pink finger-like brushes that reach out to catch the pollen. Having their male and female flowers so close together facilitates self-pollination via wind, which is how they can open before many of our pollinators have emerged. #farmscapeecology
The third-grade class recently spent a whole week The third-grade class recently spent a whole week on the farm. The third-grade Farm Trip is an historic turning point or a “threshold moment” where children step away from their home and integrate into the daily happenings on the farm. The children aided in all areas of farm life from mucking the barn, rising very early to milk the cows, tasting the sprouts just picked from the greenhouse - all the way down to puddle jumping!
Join Farmscape Ecology Program (FEP) on a Early Sp Join Farmscape Ecology Program (FEP) on a Early Spring Amphibian and Natural History Walk on Saturday, March 25th. The walk will include a visit to amphibian breeding grounds, such as vernal pools, to look for frog and salamander egg masses, and discussion of the ecology and importance of these sites. Along the way, there will be opportunities to identify woody plants by their twigs, buds, and bark, and we'll keep a lookout for the springtime happenings of plants and other taxa. The walk is free, but participant numbers are limited, so please email Kyle at kbradford@hawthornevalley.org if you would like to join. Details and directions to the meeting location will be sent to interested participants. #farmscapeecology
A collection of abstract artwork from Hawthorne Va A collection of abstract artwork from Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School's 11th Grade class ✨ At HVS, art classes vary based on grade level, evolving over the students’ journey through the grades to reflect new knowledge as well as expand personal understanding, and understanding of the world around them.

👅🐄 Leap is wishing everyone a happy #cowedne 👅🐄 Leap is wishing everyone a happy #cowednesday! We were blanketed with quite the layer of snow yesterday! Many of our animals hunkered down and kept warm off of each others’ body heat and of course, by munching on some hay and grain. Leap here is nearing weaning age, which is when she and her mama Layla will break their bond of nursing so that Leap can start to get used to the “grown-up” diet of grasses and grains. Luckily, she already loved both those things!
Pairs of coyotes have been photographed on a nearb Pairs of coyotes have been photographed on a nearby farm's trail camera, passing through on this route every few days or so. It's not clear whether they are the same pair or if they are a mated pair due to the subtle differences between male and female coyotes. Nearby the camera, a mess of coyote tracks was found, possibly from two coyotes mating or perhaps from a territorial confrontation. The first few months of the year are the typical breeding season for coyotes. They are "obligate monogamists," meaning they require a dedicated partner for reproduction. As a bonded pair, they remain together their whole lives, raising their young together and defending the same territory year after year alongside their family group. #farmscapeecology
