Our satellite Farm Kitchen & Store is available at Winter Park. Please come visit us at Winter Park for your favorite items or browse to see what we have available.
Winter Park Farm Store is the place to purchase local meats! We have beef, chicken, and, by request, lamb (ground & chops). We also have farm winter produce including carrots, garlic and onions. Bowers Farm honey is great to add to warm tea or coffee, besides a spoonful to soothe your throat.
We have a variety of organ meat in the freezer if you’re in the market for that! Email Kate Bell (kbell@bloomfield.org) with any special requests. |

Looking for a great way to cure cabin fever? Bundle up the kids and head outside! Yes, you heard that right. While winter provides us a different playscape, kids of all ages will enjoy looking at nature through a frosty lens. From tracks in the snow, to animal habitats, colorful berries to icy puddles, the world is yours to wander and explore. You can create your own “wondering” questions, or find a Winter Scavenger or Activity Hunt. Google has a plethora of free downloads if you search “Winter Nature Walk Scavenger Hunt.” Have fun in the great outdoors!
