Take a stroll along Gullion Branch and there's no telling what you'll find - the deep history of a rock wall; a mother goose nesting in a hollow sycamore tree; friendship and good conversation. Oh, and ticks, definitely ticks. 📷: @smrwrites #wendellberryfarmingprogram

Meet Amalia (she/her), Director of Admission Services. "One thing I love about Vermont is that you never know what the day is going to bring. Whether it be the extreme weather or the colorful characters that inhabit the landscape, there is always a surprise ready to greet you around the next windy turn. Do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, no matter what they are. It is helpful to talk in person and visit if you can because Sterling and Northern Vermont are not typical places.  I tell everyone, once you have come here, you will always have a home here." Check out Sterling for yourself : https://www.sterlingcollege.edu/visit-sterling/

Welcome to Work Program at the Berry Center Farm, where it's your job to hold and weigh newborn lambs. Yep, you read that correctly. The team briefly placed each one in a hanging scale before letting them scamper back to mom. 

For comparison, cradle a warm loaf of bread in your arms & have a friend say 'baa' in a high pitch. 📷: @smrwrites #wendellberryfarm

Sterling College uses education as a force to address critical ecological problems caused by unlimited growth and consumption that is destroying the planet as we have known it. Our mission is to advance ecological thinking and action through affordable experiential learning that prepares people to be knowledgeable, skilled, and responsible leaders in the communities in which they live.

Sterling acknowledges that the land on which we gather—places now known as Vermont and Kentucky—are the traditional and unceded territories of several indigenous peoples: the Abenaki in the North and the Shawnee, Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Osage people to the South. We also learn in-and-from a range of landscapes that belong to other indigenous peoples.

As we seek deep reciprocal relationships with nature, we respect and honor the place-based and cultural wisdom of indigenous ancestors and contemporaries. Words of acknowledgement and intention are just a first step. We must match them with acts of respect and repair.
