🌶 Recognize this?🌶 We're excited to finally announce the return of Raw Heat, one of our original hot sauces! This variation on our OG recipe includes garlic and ginger to aid in the fermentation process and features jalapenos, cayennes, and cherry bombs sourced from Hudson Valley Farms. You can grab a bottle on your next visit to the Greenmarkets or Farm Store (open 7 days a week, from 8 am till 7 pm).

Each year, Morning Star Kindergarten Teacher Janen

Each year, Morning Star Kindergarten Teacher Janene Ping co-leads a puppetry arts conference. In lieu of an in-person conference due to pandemic restrictions, this year the organizers invite artists, educators, and therapists who are working out of Waldorf inspiration to share their essential work with others!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We welcome you to join us on July 25th, from the comfort of your own location, for a virtual celebration of the gifts of storytelling and puppetry arts. Our event will open at 1pm (ET) with an exploration of the theme, “Imaginal Forces and the Power of Healing,” to be followed by short video clips of puppet story presentations and a reflection from their creators.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Donations to this event will support the formation of an association for threefold storytelling and puppetry arts. For more info, please message us or register through the link in bio.

We're thrilled to be on the shelves of the Farmer'

We're thrilled to be on the shelves of the Farmer's Collective, a new storefront in Rhinebeck at 6384 Mill Street. The Farmer's Collective offers a place for local and regional farmers to send what they produce on consignment so that it can be sold directly to consumers. The store is currently open Monday-Saturday from 1-7 p.m.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Willem Jan Rote, the owner of Coach Farm, in partnership with Jaimie Cloud, the owner of Miracle Springs Farm, came up with this mutually-beneficial proposition for producers and consumers in the area—to help with access to local, healthy food during the current pandemic crisis and beyond.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Local and regional food and flower farms and producers are involved, including Hawthorne Valley. The store carries local cheeses, dairy, meat, vegetables, fruit, mushrooms, flowers, preserves/canned/jar goods, baked goods, and more. Be sure to check @farmerscollectiveny out on your next visit to Rhinebeck!

Meet Lilah, one of our Place Based Learning Center’s sheep. She (and our staff!) miss our campers greatly. In their time on campus, campers learn to care for and feed the farm animals, including the program’s other two sheep and horses.
