Dear Friends of Clover Brooke Farm,

As we reflect on the end of another remarkable year, we wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support. Your belief in our mission and your continuous encouragement were the driving force behind our success, and we cannot thank you enough.

2023 was a year filled with incredible achievements and milestones. Together, we made a profound impact on the lives of countless individuals and communities, and we are immensely proud of what we accomplished together. But as we bid farewell to this extraordinary year, we cannot help but feel an overwhelming sense of excitement for what lay ahead in 2024. We had been diligently working behind the scenes to bring forth a wave of new initiatives, including setting up our newly renovated 1850 barn with two teaching classrooms, teaching kitchen and handicap accessible facilities, propelling our mission forward to be a farm for everyone.

In the coming year, we are thrilled to be expanding our reach and impact to even more corners of our community, continuing our job skill work program on the farm with Camp Ramapo and expanding to Heroic Foods, empowering individuals to reach their full potential.

You requested and we listen by expanding our educational program through our Learn on the Farm (https://cloverbrookefarm.com/learn-on-the-farm) including Needle Felting, Lavender Loofah, Ayurveda & Yoga, Microgreen & Soap Making and Home Beer Brewing classes, followed by Spring- Eco-Dying, Llamaste Yoga and Lavender Loofah, Tea Time with Llamas/Alpacas and Painting Glass and Ceramic Ware. Spaces are limited for each class, allowing as always, small group setting and personalize learning environment.

We have been awarded 2024 Diversified Agriculture and Agroforestry Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Fellowship (CAMF-https://www.adaptationfellows.net). This is a two year peer-to-peer learning program that builds climate resilience across farms, forests and communities. As we embrace the responsibility of stewarding our 45 acres, we are driven by a deep commitment to sustainability now more than ever for the benefit of our farm and our community.

We are immensely grateful to have had you by our side as we embarked on this incredible journey. As we reflect on the past year and eagerly anticipate the year ahead, we want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to each and every one of you. Your generosity, kindness, and unwavering support made all the difference, and we are truly grateful. Thank you for being a part of our journey, and we cannot wait to embark on this new chapter together in 2024. Together, we will continue to make a lasting impact and create a better world for all.

With deepest gratitude,

Andrea and Mike Tibbetts and the Clover Brooke Farm Team!
