Nice article by the Wilton Bulletin about Ambler Farm. Here's an excerpt:
"Ambler Farm’s mission is to celebrate our community’s agrarian roots. Before the birth of our throwaway society, rural communities such as Wilton had no choice but to reuse and recycle everything they could. They grew their own food and hay to feed their animals, created organic compost from garden waste and leaves, stitched quilts from fabric scraps, made felt and knitted.
