There is so much work going on at the Transition Program! Everyone is active, engaged, and
busy: tending the livestock; growing crops, herbs, vegetables, and flowers; or working in the
kitchen turning the produce from the farm and the garden into delicious nutritional meals for
all to eat; or working in the workshops transforming the raw materials produced on the land
(the plants, flowers, wood, and wool) into pieces of art and beauty…
The pigs on the farm have been called "little bulldozers" for a good reason: they are quick and thorough in clearing the land of overgrowth and rooting out refuse left by previous tenants…
Each house chose a decade spanning from the 1950s to the 2000s. They then researched the decade and learned about historical events, fashion trends, and hit songs from the era.

Beaver Farm hosted our very first Christmas Market at Foxfield Barn on December 3. This was a massive undertaking, with everyone lending a hand. Leading up to the day, our pre-vocational crews brainstormed items they could prepare to sell while a small committee sent out emails to our friends at Partners Creating Community, Mosaic Place, and The Camphill School Beaver Run campus to gauge interest in being vendors alongside Beaver Farm…
