We would love to have a person or persons who are skilled in carpentry and painting to make our horse run-in sheds ready for the Spring! Each shed at Flint Hill Farm Educational Center is only one story and easily accessible with a small step ladder. It is preferable to get a move on the sheds prior to higher temperatures due to the movement of bees and wasps. Contact Kathy Fields, 610-838-2928, kfields1922@gmail.com.
