Our Summer Explorers are showing some love for Wee Play Community Project! 💚

We are incredibly grateful to our friends at the Wee Play Community Project in Beacon for their generous grant! Their support will help us continue providing meaningful, hands-on experiences for the children and families we serve.

At Stony Kill Farm, we believe that connecting children with agriculture, nature, and the outdoors creates lasting memories and inspires the next generation of environmental stewards. This grant strengthens our ability to expand these opportunities while continuing to cultivate the relationships that make our Beacon community so special.

Thank you, Wee Play Community Project, for supporting our mission and for investing in the children of our community. We are excited to put this support to work and look forward to growing together! 💚
