Over 75 businesses and individuals have made donations to the May 27 Country Barbecue Auction. Starting bids range from $15 to $7,500. The top item is a vacation to Patagonia, Chile. Bidding starts at 50% of the retail value and 100% of the proceeds go to support CLC’s work.
This week, CLC sponsored a farm visit for a local Head Start group to tour Spruce Ridge Farm. The 3 and 4 year olds were able to feed alpacas and a llama. Plus, they saw cows, guinea hens, and chickens. They learned all about how alpaca fiber (fur) is made into yarn and used to make sweaters, hats, mittens, and scarves. Thanks to Spruce Ridge Farm owners, Jeff and Steve, for being such wonderful hosts!

Joining 1,000 supporters of local conservation at a beautiful Columbia County farm for a barbecue featuring local food, an array of wines and locally brewed beer is the perfect way to inaugurate the summer. Yet the Columbia Land Conservancy’s Country Barbecue is so much more. CLC’s main fundraising event, the barbecue is being held on Sunday, May 27 at David Rockefeller’s Clum and Patchen Farm and is packed with a diverse range of entertainment.
The fun begins in the parking area where you can take a ride on a horse drawn trolley, organized by Dreaming Tree Farm. If you want more, you can take another ride around the Rockefeller’s beautiful farm land. CONTINUE READING
