Benefit for Little Wing Farm Farmer: Molly Myerson

Event Date:

Tuesday, March 29, 2016 - 6:00pm to 9:00pm

Event Description:

Last week, Molly's barn caught fire, for reasons no one is certain of. Molly lost much in the way of tools and equipment, and, more sadly, about 300 young quail that she hatched and was raising by hand. Amid that devastation, Molly's landlords texted her that she would have to be off the land in 60 days. Molly's intention to rebuild gave way to the realization that everything she had worked for was gone.
