On May 15, 2018, Bethany and the surrounding region experienced tornado damage from category EF-1 tornadoes. Clover Nook Farm experienced a direct hit, as the tornado path ran through the west side of our land. Clover Nook sustained extensive damage from the 100 mph winds that brought devastation in less than 10 minutes.
Our family is extremely blessed for the outpouring of community support that we received since the tornado and we would like to extend our greatest thanks to everyone who lent a hand during our tornado recovery. Fortunately, Clover Nook Farm has been at full operation for the 2018 growing season. However, there remains extensive structural damage at Clover Nook that exceeds our insurance coverage.
On Friday, September 14, 2018, we will be hosting a Clover Nook Tornado Relief Fundraiser in partnership with New England Brewing Company. New England Brewing Company has been generous enough to donate the event space for us to use. The purpose of this fundraiser is to alleviate the costs associated with repairing and rebuilding sustained structural damage from the tornadoes.
