The Friends have purchased a new observation hive. It’s been installed in the museum. Stay tuned to see when the buildings will be open to the public.
This will make a great addition to the exhibits at Up Yonda Farm!
SO THAT WE ALL REMAIN SAFE AND ABLE TO ENJOY TOGETHER, THIS SPECIAL EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO AN AS-YET-UNDETERMINED FUTURE DATE. THE FRIENDS OF UP YONDA FARM THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
OUR THANKS TO THE SAGAMORE RESORT!
The Friends of Up Yonda Farm would like to reflect on our good fortune and accomplishments of the past year; and share them with people like you, who value and appreciate Up Yonda Farm.
We have many exciting ideas for the upcoming year, including a Beehive Observation Station, benches and other seating, and a sightseeing scope at the Up Yonda Farm vista. In addition to the many generous donations we’ve received, we also intend to conduct some fund-raising events and pursue grant opportunities in 2020.
During this season of gratitude and good cheer, we ask that you consider a donation to help us continue our efforts in support of the wonderful programs at Up Yonda Farm.
Sincerely,
Lydia Hall, Sue Heusner, Judy Killeen, and Susan Wilson

Dear Friend of Up Yonda Farm,
What do you remember most about your last trip to Up Yonda Farm in Bolton Landing? Did you visit the educational museum, the butterfly house; the sensory garden? Did you hike the trails up the hill to gaze at the beautiful vista of Lake George? Up Yonda Farm is a Warren County gem.
Now there’s a new chapter in Up Yonda history. The Friends of Up Yonda Farm, Inc. is a volunteer organization committed to raising funds to supplement programming at Up Yonda Farm. It is a tax exempt, certified, not for profit corporation with 501(c)(3) charitable status.
The Friends will be providing a composter to Up Yonda to be used for gardening and educational classes on the benefits of composted soils. Future projects include funding a sightseeing scope to be installed at the top of the meadow for enhanced lake views; a new bee hive demonstration area; and solar projects to defray Up Yonda’s electrical costs as well as educate visitors to the benefits of solar energy. Your donation will help defray the costs of these items.
Please visit our website (www.upyondafriends.org) to learn more about the projects the Friends will be instituting in the near future as well as how to donate to or volunteer with our organization.
See you at Up Yonda Farm. Lydia Hall, Susan Wilson, Judy Killeen, Sue Heusner
