SUNFIELD WALDORF SCHOOL & FARM


"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”

NEWS FROM THE FARM



Things have been growing well here on the farm, despite the fairly horrendous spring weather! We now have most of the spring and summer crops in the ground or the greenhouse. We planted half a field of potatoes with a visiting school and sowed the first corn with Sunfield students last week.



We have also had a spring full of babies and excitement! Our dairy sheep Milly and Molly gave birth in March--1 boy and 2 girls, exactly what we wanted! Then our big fluffy Cotswold sheep Snowflake gave birth on Good Friday to a little lamb who wasn’t breathing at first, luckily Farmer Neil was on hand to help her take her first breath and stay with us! Bethea produced a very big healthy girl the next morning. Two weeks ago Nightie gave birth to twin girls – Comet, and little weakling, Luna, who had to be taken to the farmhouse and loved ferociously to health! She is now a very domesticated bottle fed lamb that follows us around like a puppy.
