Carlisle Ford Nationals - Early

The Ford Show came early as one of our guests this week from Canada arrived in a classic '67 rag-top Ford Mustang.

 Larry and Pat are on their way to northern VA to board the Amtrak auto train for their trip to Longboat Key Florida for the summer. Too bad they will miss the show this year showcasing the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration!

Dickinson College Hosts Kristin Kimball - Farmer Extraordinaire

     Last evening was a celebration of farm life and sustainability at the annual Local Farm Dinner organized by the Dickinson College Farm.  The speaker was Kristin Kimball, co-owner with husband Mark of Essex Farm and Institute and guest of the Carlisle House. Her inspirational presentation about her life-changing career decision as described in her book The Dirty Life was enjoyed by all. Farmed by draft  horses and several tractors,

Essex Farm is a total CSA farm providing a year's food for over 200 members.  
     Prior to Kristin's presentation, two of the Dickinson College students also spoke on how the Dickinson Farm and its leaders and fellow students changed their whole outlook and their futures about food, life, farming and sustainability. This year, proceeds from the dinner went to Leaf Project PA.
