Tornado | applepondfarm

A tornado hit Apple Pond Farm and Renewable Energy Center on Earth Day, April 22nd, 2023. While people and animals were unharmed, we endured extensive damage to our barn, outbuildings and home. We have finished much of the restoration and are seeking new owners who are committed to continuing the Apple Pond Farm legacy of sustainable agriculture and renewable energy.
