Thank you to Northampton Area Pediatrics for displaying the enormous "3 Little Pigs" gingerbread village created by the 1st and 8th graders for the Holiday Fair. The office staff was TREMENDOUSLY excited to put it in their waiting room, where it will be seen and enjoyed by hundreds of children over the next month. They has put a sign on the village that says "Created by the 1st and 8th grade classes at the Hartsbrook School." Stop by and have a look!

Now is the time to order fresh or smoked pork cuts from our own pigs. This exceptional meat is only available once a year and now is the time. Our two pigs have been cared for by the 6th grade as they have taken on their daily work with the cows, feeding them grain and food scraps from our Homestead kitchen and campus, as well as over-mature vegetables from the school garden; this varied diet produces meat of exceptional quality and flavor. Please let me know if you would like to receive details of cuts and prices. Supplies are limited and as all cuts will be sold on a first come, first serve basis (and we usually sell out) please call ext.119 or email me at nrobb@hartsbrook.org.
