Clover Nook Farm Tornado Relief
Donation protected
Dear Friends of Clover Nook,
On May 15, 2018, Bethany and the surrounding region experienced tornado damage from category EF-1 tornadoes. Clover Nook Farm experienced a direct hit, as the tornado path ran through the west side of our land. Clover Nook sustained extensive damage from the 100 mph winds that brought devastation in less than 10 minutes. Our family is extremely blessed for the outpouring of community support that we received since the tornado and we would like to extend our greatest thanks to everyone who lent a hand during our tornado recovery. Fortunately, Clover Nook Farm has been at full operation for the 2018 growing season. However, there remains extensive structural damage at Clover Nook that exceeds our insurance coverage.
Clover Nook visitors will notice the destruction of our “Horse Barn” that was built in 1840 and listed on the CT historical registry. Additional structural damage at Clover Nook can be seen on our two greenhouses which house our early seedlings each spring, tree line destruction that will affect our fields for future growing seasons, and fence line damage compromising our livestock pastures. Our goal is to use proceeds from this fundraiser to alleviate the costs of repairing and rebuilding these structures to sustain our farm in the future.
On Friday, September 14, 2018, we will be hosting a Clover Nook Tornado Relief Fundraiser in partnership with New England Brewing Company. If you are unable to attend the event, but would still like to contribute, we have created this online fundraiser for you to do so.
Thank you for your continued support of Clover Nook Farm, our family farm based in Bethany since 1765.
Sincerely,
Debbie, Eric (Rex), Carl, and Lars Demander
