During public listening sessions held in early 2025, we learned there is community interest in helping us with various projects across the farmstead. As we continue to work through a strategic planning process, we’re moving forward to capture the energy expressed and build upon the connections made during the listening sessions. As a result, we are piloting a volunteer program: Good Neighbors Projects.

As expressed in Robert Frost’s poem “Mending Wall”: “Good fences make good neighbors.” In that vein, we invite you, good neighbor, to join us in clearing fence lines and more to maintain the Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm landscape and views we all cherish. Take part in a Good Neighbors Project at the Remick farmstead!
