CVKH Blog: Family and Friends Day: Exploring our Social Responsibility

Saturday, June 4 was a beautiful day for our annual Family and Friends Day celebration.  Visitors from all over joined with us as we explored the theme of social responsibilty within the context of life in Kimberton Hills. 

The day began with a song performed by the CVKH Orchestra set to the tune of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."  The lyrics were written by Jessica Sabo and the crowd sang along. 

Mine ears have heard the rooster
as he crows o'er Pfeiffer Hill.
Calling time for work, to milk the cows,
to weave and mow and till.
Let us rise each day to greet the sun
and beauty of Camphill.
The Cows all say "Hello!"

Glory, glory, such a pleasure
Glory, glory, to see you here.
Glory, glory, try the cookies!
The Cows all say "Hello!"

We knit and weave with fibers sheared
and spun all naturally
Cooking lunch with vegetables that
grow biodynamically
Let us thank the cows for milk that makes
our yogurt and our cheese.
The Cows all say "Hello!"

Glory, glory, such a pleasure

Glory, glory, to see you here.
Glory, glory, Thanks for singing!
We all say "Hello!"

The afternoon continued with presentations about our garden, forestry project and development work, followed by a delicious lunch on the green.  After lunch, our visitors had a chance to participate in fleecing, playing with the orchestra, walking the woodlands and more. 

A great day was enjoyed by all!  Thank you!
