Spring is always a tease here in NEPA, off to a cold start with patches of warm weather here and there. We had a peaceful, yet busy winter on the farm - lots of news to share.
As the end of autumn approaches and with a new liturgical year right around the corner, we pause to reflect on all the blessings God has bestowed upon us the the last two months.
As we look back on the last months of summer, it amazes us just how many visitors came to the farm, both to help us out and just to visit. Carmina especially enjoyed time with many friends from her past. God continues to send friends new and old to experience our life here and, hopefully, experience His Presence.
Happy Easter to all our farm friends! Our Lord is risen - the reason for our hope. As we enter our second decade, we continue to welcome volunteers and visitors to the farm.
Ten years ago today, on February 28, 2013, Larry and John drove from the Lehigh Valley up to the Back Mountain and purchase 11 acres in Harveys Lake and the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker Farm was born.
What a great summer it’s been! After scaling back our work during COVID, we have come back strong and ready to grow in our mission. First, a recap of volunteering and farm events, then a look at some future plans for the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker Farm.
We are off to a wonderful start to the new season here at the farm. Most of the work right now is clean up from the winter, with a lot of downed trees and branches causing lots of debris in the pasture.
No one was more happy to see the arrival of Spring than we were on the farm. It seemed like a long winter, lots of time to ponder and discern our next steps.
