Apifera Farm is home to artist Katherine Dunn and landscaper Martyn Dunn. Located in mid coast Maine, Apifera takes in needy animals but also shares them with elder people. They are a 501[c][3]. Contact katherine@katherinedunn.com with questions.
We are busy and enjoying SPRING! I hope you are too wherever you are. May is one of our busiest months-winter cleanup, prepping gardens and vegetable area, and getting ready for possible on site visits.
We hope to have our elder friends to the farm this summer, and I am also planning some small 3-5 people equine days. We were so excited that we were able to secure a porta potty for the season-you might not know it but they were and continue to be in short supply and last year we couldn't get one. As the barnyard likes to say, "The peoples needs to poops!"
Teddy continues to share love and has been making regular visits to Cove's Edge and Lincoln Home. Cove's has been on flu lock down which is a drag.
We also shared over 50 stuffed toy bunnies with Cove's which were all graciously donated by followers, they were a huge hit, as one our little living bunny who the resident loved holding. Residents of Cove's Edge[a medicare facility] often end up with about $30 a month for themselves so things like this really lift their spirits.
We have Apifera yarn for sale, with 100% net going to the non profit. Processing fiber is very expensive, so I saved up a couple year's worth. It is beautiful CVM wool, 2 ply sport weight and is available through my online shop. Please note that this is not a tax deductible purchase since it is going through my online shop and then I donate the money to Apifera. Each 2 skeins comes with a thank you tag with our Little Sylvia Pettini on the front her wool is the white wool, as is her elder mother Calla's].
With Cove's on recent lock down, Harry and I have not been able to visit. And it's been so chilly so I have not done our annual Spring walk to the village. I hope to do that in next two weeks. And by then we hope Harry will be out and about visiting his elder friends.
