with better photo tomorrow)

Knoll Farm is a working family farm of hardwood forests and hillside meadows overlooking the Green Mountains in the Mad River Valley of Vermont. Their land and buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places, and conserved by the Vermont Land Trust. They are the base for Center for Whole Communities, a learning and retreat center for activists that was founded by the owners of the farm, Peter Forbes and Helen Whybrow.
(Helen was most gracious allowing me to paint with my friend unannounced,
to which I am most grateful)
