There is a season, and a time for every matter...
At Wellington Acres, nature is our guide and teacher. Through the rhythm of the seasons, we embrace the lessons that each time of year offers—fostering resilience, patience, and gratitude in both our animals and the people who visit. Life on the farm is not just about caring for the land and animals; it’s about understanding the cycles of life and the wisdom they bring..
Spring – A Season of Renewal and New Beginnings
As the snow melts and the earth softens, Wellington Acres comes alive with the promise of new growth. Spring is a time of renewal, where baby animals take their first steps, gardens are planted, and the air is filled with the sounds of new life. The season teaches us patience and nurturing—reminding us that growth takes time and that small, consistent efforts lead to lasting change.
Summer – Hard Work, Dedication, and Preparation
Summer on the farm is a time of long days, warm sunshine, and tireless work. Hay season is in full swing, requiring teamwork and persistence as we cut, dry, and store the hay that will sustain our animals through the winter. This season teaches us discipline, endurance, and the importance of preparation—reminding us that effort put in today ensures stability for tomorrow.
Autumn – Gratitude, Harvest, and Change
As the leaves turn golden and the air becomes crisp, autumn brings a season of reflection and abundance. It is a time to gather the fruits of our labor—harvesting vegetables, collecting eggs, and preparing for the colder months ahead. Fall teaches us gratitude, the beauty of transition, and the importance of honoring both endings and new beginnings.
Winter – Rest, Resilience, and Quiet Strength
Winter at Wellington Acres is a season of stillness, where nature slows down, and the farm settles into a quieter rhythm. The animals huddle together for warmth, the land rests under a blanket of snow, and we learn the value of resilience and rest. This season teaches us that rest is not idleness but a necessary part of growth—preparing us for the renewal of spring once again.
At Wellington Acres, every season brings its own set of challenges and rewards, each offering lessons that shape not only how we care for the land and animals but also how we live our lives. Whether tending to newborn animals in the spring, working the fields in the summer, harvesting in the fall, or embracing the stillness of winter, we are reminded that nature has much to teach us—if only we take the time to listen.
