Today marks the final day for our Farm Manager, Ava Murphey. We are going to miss her dearly! Ava has been with us as one of the core FTP staff members since 2018 and the Farm Manager since 2021. Ava has not only been an incredible steward of this land where Catamount Farm exists but she is also a stellar educator who has touched the lives (and hearts) of many students. Her next endeavor/s are still unfolding but there is a good chance that goats and cheese making will play a role. We wish her the very best for her next chapter in life and will hold onto all the ways that she has touched our lives. Enormous thanks, Ava!!!

A final field trip of the season took us down to in Tunbridge. Enormous thanks to Shona Sanford-Long, Fran Miller, and Shelby Kahn (members of the ) for carving out space in their day for us. Beautiful and inspiring to tour that land, meet some of Shona’s critters, and to hear more about the collaborative.
