Farm Library
The Association for Continuing Education (ACE) donated more than 65 books to the farm from the Carolyn Leitch Fund. The farm library includes books about history, painting, ceramics, old barns and several Peterson Field Guides, which are available to program participants and farm visitors. The Hunting Valley Historical Society also donated two copies of Hunting Valley: A History by Diana Tittle and Mark Gottlieb.
If you would like to borrow any of these books, please call the farm office at 216.368.0275 or stop by during farm office hours.
