From the February 2012 e.News
Well, it looks as if winter has officially arrived here at Hidden Villa! There's a noticeable frost on the ground in the mornings, the creek has slowly started flowing again and our fields are lying fallow until the spring! I'm always delighted to see the creek return after the season's first significant rainfall as it's a tangible indicator not only of the seasonal transition but also of programmatic cycles on the farm.

Well it hardly seems possible but here we are at the end of 2011 already! The past eleven months have been particularly busy and productive here at Hidden Villa and we are looking forward with great anticipation towards 2012.
Fall has finally arrived and our school-year programs are back in full swing! Students, teachers and parents are returning to our environmental education programs, CSA shareholders are enjoying the bounty of the autumn harvest, our Community Programs are full of eager participants and our hostel is booked with visitors. It's a really great time to visit the farm and enjoy the beautiful trails, see our farm animals and learn something new in the educational garden.
Whatever happened to the lazy days of summer? Hidden Villa is in full Camp mode still, with just a few weeks left of Summer Camp 2011. It's been a really wonderful summer so far and I have two happy campers at home to prove it--my son had a great time at 12 Day Farm and Wilderness Camp and my daughter really enjoyed her first time as a Tipi Camper!
