Hemlock Hill had a fire in April. They lost structures that accommodated chickens, hay and livestock equipment. Bad news for sure. Thankfully the Captain Lawrence Brewery has stepped in to do a week long fundraiser, June 17-22, to raise funds for a barn raising [editor's note: have you ever seen "Witness"? I love Harrison Ford]; there's a Kickstarter Campaign going as well.
It should be noted that Hemlock Hill actually feeds its pigs and cows used hops from the brewery. Talk about symbiosis! Beer and and meet, truly united.
If you can give do. If you don't already frequent the farm, it's highly recommended. Oh, and Captain Lawrence is a great local brewery. How can you not support them. Have you tried their Sun Block beer. It's a hoppy wheat beer, good with some lemon. Perfect for these 85 degree days in May.

You can also get GREAT MULCH for your garden for cheap. it's rich, dark and full of great minerals that make things grow. they are selling eggs, but from another organic farm. Their chicken coop should be rebuilt soon.
Hemlock Hill Farm is one of the few remaining organic farms in Westchester County. read my article about it in Valley Table Mag: http://valleytable.com/article.php?article=013+Up+Close%2FHemlock+Hill+Farm.
