Dudley Foundation Annual Meeting 

Dudley Foundation Annual Meeting 

Members are invited to gather for a pot luck lunch at our annual meeting in the yellow Munger Barn. Bring a dish and hear the latest news from the farm, enjoy good food and share fellowship. This year’s guest speaker will be Emily Ciffone, Program Director at New Pond Farm in Redding, CT.

To renew your membership or to join contact: dudleyfarm.com/join. RSVP required.

Dudley Farm recently updated our Strategic Plan to establish goals for the next five to ten years. A key initiative is to expand our community outreach with school programs and camps focused on history and agricultural life in 19^th century New England. We hope you will join us to hear Emily Ciffone share insights on the development and success of New Pond Farm Education Center. Board Members found much to be inspired by on a recent visit to New Pond Farm.

About New Pond Farm

More than 50 years ago, actress and environmentalist Carmen Mathews had a dream for the land she loved. She wanted her 102 acres of pastures, woodlands, and wetlands to serve as an oasis where people of all ages could connect with the natural world. Carmen began by inviting urban youth to a summer camp. Building on this initial small and personal summer program, New Pond Farm Education Center opened its doors in 1985. Since then, it has evolved into a comprehensive environmental teaching facility with a model working farm. It offers many school programs and classes for children, teens, adults, and families.
