January 2021 Keeping you in touch with what is happening on the farm New Year, New Look! You may have noticed some changes on our website and social media pages. Founder and Executive Director Suzie Dudas noticed that interest in her for-profit dairy business, Jupiter Creamery, was more concentrated on the educational aspect of running a farm than on the sale of dairy products themselves. So, in 2018, she incorporated Nourishing Food for Thought as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. While Jupiter Creamery still exists today all profits are donated to Nourishing Food for Thought, with its mission of educating and empowering people to take an active role in the food they consume, has become our primary focus. With this in mind, you will start to see some changes in the way we brand our events, workshops, and products. But don’t fret! We are still located on the same property in Jupiter Farms and we are still operated by the same loving and devoted staff and volunteers. We hope we will have your continued support as we grow and reach for greater heights through our nonprofit arm.   Learn More What’s Happening on the Farm in January Wed, Jan 6th 10am - (Milk) Soap Making Sat, Jan 16th 2pm -  Intro to Chickens Sun, Jan 17th 9am - Poultry Workshop Wed, Jan 20th 11am - Intro to Chickens Fri, Jan 22nd 6pm - Farmer Speaker Series NEW!
