Memorial Garden Renewal

Many thanks to Glo, Susan and Nari and all the other beautiful women who contributed their devotion and resources to the renewal of the HOWL Memorial Garden this past fall. It looks beautiful!

Honey Bees Arrive at HOWL

We are so excited to announce the latest agricultural venture in support of our mission and the covenants of our beautiful women's land: honey bees! Ann Ross, collective member and bee keeper, after a thorough mentoring period, is introducing honey bees to HOWL. Below is a view of the new hive with the HOWL memorial garden in the foreground and Stark Hollow Farm sheep and free range chickens. HOWL continues to develop its "incubator" programming allowing women to develop enterprises which support our mission. The bees arrived late last night and some heavy smoking calmed them down temporarily for Annie to move them into the hive boxes this morning. Annie is the new "Bee Charmer" at HOWL...way to go Annie! We love it.



Honey bees are critical part of the habitat and provide for the pollination of our wild, edible and garden plants as well as put local honey on the table for the health and well being of our residents and friends.

Some Early Signs of Spring on the Land

Temperatures here in Vermont skyrocketed to an unprecedented 75-80 trend that is expected to hold for a week. Spring is coming in like a lion, while winter barely bleated like a lamb.

Pastures are turning green. Crocuses are up.

HOWL residents have begun annual clean up of the memorial garden. Stark Hollow Farm's resident chickens are extremely happy to be out of the pen free ranging and setting up their "cleaning" pits in the dirt. More to come...
