SORRENTO TRACTOR UPDATE!
Tractor Auction

With the addition of the Sorrento Centre Farm property we are now responsible for maintaining over 30 acres of land that includes roads, lawns, forest trails and a working farm.

In order to efficiently manage our grounds and farm production we need a tractor. This tractor will help us do jobs including mowing, tilling, snow plowing, trench digging and moving large materials.

We successfully raised over $24,000 for our tractor fund during the 2010 and 2011 seasons through generous donations from many of our friends and associates as well as with raffles, a grant and our on-line auction [see auction here »]

We are inspired and excited at this tremendous show of support for the Sorrento Centre Farm!
