CVKH Blog: Autumn is here

It's a beautiful time of year here at Kimberton Hills.  We are preparing corn, making cider, getting to know our new service volunteers. 

Although the sun isn't shining today, we welcome the rain.  Our land needs it, our animals need it, and we need it.  Darker, damper days allow us to appreciate the beauty of the changing leaves and warmth of the autumn sunshine.  That is when the growth happens. 

Come and visit us soon. 

CVKH Blog: The Jasper String Quartet at Rose Hall, September 23

Astral Artistic Services, an organization that guides and promotes the nation’s most extraordinary emerging classical musicians, will offer an evening of music in Kimberton Hills’ Rose Hall featuring The Jasper String Quartet on September 23 at 7:30 p.m.

The Camphill Cafe will be open at 6 p.m. for light supper and refreshments. 


Hailed as “sonically delightful and expressively compelling” and “polished, engaged and in tune with one another,” the Jasper String Quartet’s unity comes from its belief in the timeless and lifelong pursuit of music’s depth and meaning. The concert will feature the music of Haydn and Beethoven.

Astral Artists is a non-profit organization whose mission is to discover the most promising classical musicians residing in the United States, assist their early professional career development and present their world-class artistry to the community through concerts and outreach programs. Camphill Kimberton is pleased to once again host these gifted musicians.

There is no charge for the concert, but donations are accepted.

CVKH BLOG: Camphill Challenge set for October 17

The Camphill communities in Chester County will host the fourth annual Camphill Challenge cycling event on Sunday, October 17. Camphill Village Kimberton Hills, Camphill Special School, and Camphill Soltane are pleased to be working together on this collaborative fundraising event.

The bike ride, which begins and ends at Camphill Village Kimberton Hills, offers 50, 33, and 10-mile courses for all ages and ability levels. Cyclists will ride through Chester County during peak autumn foliage with beautiful views of horse farms, historic homes, and covered bridges. A picnic and music will round out the day.

By participating in the ride, you will be making a difference to three unique communities, each of which create environments where people with intellectual and developmental disabilities live with dignity and pride.

CVKH BLOG: Camphill Cafe Coffeehouse, Friday, August 20

The Camphill Café invites you to experience their first evening of live music. This “Camphill Coffeehouse” will become a regular event, welcoming visitors to Camphill Village Kimberton Hills’ café for refreshments, conversation and great local music. The kick-off event is Friday, August 20, 2010. The café opens at 6:30 p.m. with music from 7 – 9 p.m.


Musical acts include The Seven Spaces and Amelia Sabra.

The Seven Spaces features Danny Minogue (drums, vocals), Jackson Hughes (vocals, guitar), Hagay Haut (guitar, vocals), and Aidan Gross (cello, guitar). Their music has a soft-rock, folky, and acoustic alternative sound.

Amelia Sabra is opera-trained, but realized she wanted to express herself through her own music. She has signed a record deal with RP Music, and her album will be coming out this fall.

Refreshments, including homemade desserts, snacks and beverages will be available for purchase.

The Camphill Café, is also open to the public for lunch Wednesday-Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. In addition to serving locally-grown, organic food on site, take-out and catering options are available for events.
