New Owners for Berry Hill Farm
WLCT is pleased to announce the sale of Berry Hill Farm to Carissa and Adam Davenport. They're thrilled to continue the Pierce's tradition of roadside blueberry sales, as well as to build on their own Town Farm Tonics.
Beginning May 13th, Native canoe builders will be burning a mishoon at Town Farm. Visitors are invited to stop by and learn about this traditional craft of Eastern Woodland tribes.
WLCT was the recipient of a OneTree Planted grant to restore the habitat at Dunham's Brook Conservation Area. Land Steward Nate McCullin chose shrubs and trees with an eye towards shelter and food.

Due to limited parking, we're asking mishoon visitors to pre-register for spots at Town Farm. Cultural exchanges will take place daily from noon to 2, and the builders will be working daily until 6.
