On February 28, second graders in Mrs. Baker’s class took an educational trip to the Stone House Farm in Sharon Springs, which has been run by the Everett family since 1964. Tim and Patti Everett took over the farm in 1986, and have been farming there ever since. The children toured the barns and visited with some of the 60 Jersey cows and calves that call the Stone House Farm home. They were fascinated with the robotic milking machine. They also learned how maple syrup is made at the farm’s 5,000-tap maple syrup operation and enjoyed a delicious brunch of pancakes, sausage and, of course, maple syrup at the sap house restaurant there. A very special thank you from our class to Amy Cornwell and the Everett family for inviting us!
