One of our installation will be at the Liberty Hall Rescue at Boneta Reserve in Paris, Virginia. I know, not exactly urban beekeeping but still a lot great foraging area in a beautiful setting only one hour from Georgetown. I took my kids for a site visit today and got a chance to mingle with their extremely friendly livestock. They have an assortment of goats:
a miniature horse:
Emus:And sheep, ducks, chickens, alpacas and llamas.
The kids had a blast. The Reserve is a non-profit organization that provides a sanctuary for abused or distressed livestock. From their website:
We provide a home and safe haven for rescued animals. complete with all the comforts and considerations needed to insure the safety, free mobility, and longevity of the animals.
They also have a large garden from which they harvest produce for sale at their farm stand and to local restaurants.
I can't wait to get the hives out there!
wow. I love this farm and Paris Virginia is so beautiful. Liberty Hall Farm has great folks and are doing amazing things for the community and animals. Thank you for being a part of such a wonderful farm sanctuary. Can't wait to taste some of the honey - will the honey be flavored by all the herbs and veggies on the farm?
