Whimsy Brook Farm is now:

 "A Horse Farm of Environmental Distinction"

The Farm is proud to announce that it has just received the Horse Farm of Environmental Distinction designation from The Horse Environmental Awareness Program (HEAP). This program honors those horse owners who take pride in being good stewards of the land and good neighbors to those who share our common water resources.

Horse owners that qualify for the award are those who implement good manure, pasture and facility management practices such as approved manure handling, diverting rain water away from barnyards, installing fencing to keep horses out of ponds and streams, utilizing a sacrifice area, installing gutters on barns, and testing pasture soils.

Whimsy Brook Farm earned this award because of our superior horse manure compost facility, our excellent pasture management, the farms engineered water run-off systems, and our management of sensitive ecological areas. We hope to serve as an example of superior horse farming in Fairfield County and the State of Connecticut. Please feel free to visit and we would be happy to give you a tour of our conservation practices.

The HEAP program is a coalition of federal and state agencies, organizations and individuals interested in protecting the environment.
