#Denville’s own Cedar Gate Farm #LoveYourLocal

February 27, 2022 DenvilleAdmin

Denville’s own Cedar Gate Farm has set up a collection box in their store to collect First Aid Supplies for the #Ukraine. #StandWithUkraine

Items needed for donations are: Bandaides, Aspirin, Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, Gauze, Ace Bandages, any OTC pain relievers, Tweezers, Thermometers, Neosporin, and Stitch Glue. Also collecting shelf stable food rations, such as: peanut butter, granola bars, protein bars and crackers.

Thank you for supporting those in need in the Ukraine.

The Circa 1904 Cedar Gate Farm in Denville was used as a dairy farm and originally owned by Eugene Parks and his family. The farm was sold by the late Dr. William Rodda in 2016 to a Denville family, Fred and Larysa Breem

The Breem family recently gave the “Red Barn” a facelift and have brought life back to its pastures as promised to the original remaining family members. They currently run the farm by raising baby chicks and selling cage free – free range eggs weekly. They also have produced and sold over 40 skeins of wool from their sheep herd in 2019.
