The Friends of Up Yonda Farm are pleased to announce that we are recipients of Warren County’s Soil and Water District’s Community Conservation Grant!

The grant will enable us to continue beautification work this spring and summer on the sensory garden at Up Yonda Farm.

Once the snow melts, please stop by and see what we’ve accomplished so far and what we’ll be working on to upgrade and preserve this community gem.

Here’s what we’ve been up to in the sensory garden. If you’d like to help in the garden, Click here to Volunteer View Photo Album
