A great time was had by all at the St Anthony of Padua 12th day of Christmas event. Three horses were at the ready instead of camels for the 3 Wise Men following their Epiphany play along with 2 donkeys, 2 sheep, 2 goats and 2 rabbits!
We started with a special blessing offered by Father Andrew for our animals and their caregivers. Thank you to our wonderful 4-H members and families for all of your help out in the cold today!

Good Morning Farm Friends! We have some great news to share! The Parma Area Historical Society(PAHS) which is responsible for managing the farm received a significant donation from the Abraham and Barbara Miller Charitable Fund.
They recognize the great work being done by our volunteers, our 4-H club and the PAHS board! You have all been a part of helping them see what an important part of the community the farm is!
These projects were already in the works, but it will help cover the $6000 expense of rebuilding/repairing the chimneys on both houses . There are also plans to start work on residing Stearns house.
More information to come, but this is great news as we get closer to 2025 !
